Ascot Selections & Staking Plan: Wednesday 27th October

4 years ago - Sportingbase

Been a bit wet and wild in Perth since Saturday after one of the better days on-course I’ve been to. Looking at a soft 6 track that once again, could play any which way given the lack of a track manager at Ascot currently (a problem that is currently being fast-forward). Keen to get involved in one race on the card.

Race 5 – 4:10PM AMELIA PARK LODGE HANDICAP (1200 METRES)

7. Safety Fuse – 1. Cross Statement – 8. Sparkling Blue – 11. Rebelzone

Safety Fuse

I thought Safety Fuse run last start in a quality CL3 was massive. Sat 3 wide no cover up on-top of a really hot speed and thought she was terrific the way she absorbed that pressure and hit the line behind Treasured Star (favourite for the G1 Kingston Town and WA Guineas) and Ghost Who Walks who has since run very well at Northam. Back into a CL1, still only gets in with the 53kgs after the claim for Kesh who should be able to smother her up here just in behind the speed. Trialled nicely on a genuine soft so the wet track shouldn’t be to her detriment and think she will go mighty close here, keen.

2 Units WIN

Cross Statement

Think this race sets up really nicely for Cross Statement and don’t want to be losing on him. Thought the fresh run was really good, did some work early, rolled along at a genuine tempo and was just gunned down in the shadow by a smart one when just probably lacking a bit of condition. Race under the belt, should cross them easily from 11 even though drawn out wide to find the fence, with that improvement out of the 1st up run looks hard to run down.

1 Unit WIN
