Ascot

ANABALLISTIC (4) sat handy and got over the top to score comfortably first-up over this track and trip. Her form may have been franked in the opener on the card. Her figures say she's picked up where she left off last campaign, and with improvement likely, that makes her an attractive commodity. LORD SHIVA (2) disappointed to end last campaign at Geraldton but he was knocking on the door prior to that. Comes into this without a barrier trial but he tends to run well on the fresh side. Tongue tie comes off now and he can put his best foot forward for his new trainer. PRECAST (5) makes her WA debut today for the Mack Hall barn after racing in Victoria most recently. Her trial coming in was solid and Pike hops in the saddle for her fresh effort. All the gear comes off in a good push for her chances and she'll be right there in the finish. COSTAZITA (1) and AZENA (3) both resume off long layoffs but have shown enough at the trials. Keep safe.
