Ascot 13/5/17

Gray · May 2017

getting the thread started.

A quick look thru the fields does not inspire me but Airlie Sun in the last stands out to me.

the $6 for Macavity seems a bit short without seeing it trial leading into this

bit short in price and distance range for it...

the $26 / $7 for Forseen is huge value (don't mind the Key to Fame formline)

Greg Hooper’s Ascot Saturday Preview

Greg Hooper’s Preview

RACE 1

TOP OF THE CLASS looks a quality filly. She steamed home fresh producing a devastating late turn of foot. This race looks no harder and she should win again. THE CELT may go forward and if he can dictate terms in front he has place claims. SWEET ORA hasn’t returned in the same form again but beats most of these on ability alone. HALLDORA races handy to the speed.

Numbers – 5 – 2 – 1 – 6

Suggested Bet –TOP OF THE CLASS WIN

RACE 2

Hard to miss the run of DETANGO from last start. She looked set for a big win until she copped a severe check. This race is very weak and she should be too strong. CAPRICORN DANCER is on the quick back-up after racing competitively at Pinjarra on Thursday. AWESOME AS can lead and give a sight. SECRET DOUBT next best.

Numbers – 2 – 6 – 1 – 5

Suggested Bet – DETANGO WIN

RACE 3

MILITARY RULER has a terrific second-up card and can run a big race at odds. He was put out of play first-up when he missed the kick. Expecting him to race much handier to the speed and improve sharply. MAJINIKA and ASTRONOMITE look the two other major players. RED PUBLISHER is hard to catch but if he races to his optimum he can test these.

Numbers – 2 -3 – 4 – 6

Suggested Bet – MILITARY RULER WIN

RACE 4

CAPPO D’ORO is bursting to win another race. The wide gate should suit as he likes to wind up through his gears and Pike jumps on. ROSEWOOD HILL is on the quick back-up after chalking up a deserving win on Wednesday. She appears the main danger. STRIKING STAR may lead and give a sight at odds. PROXY is a perennial placegetter.

Numbers – 1 – 5 – 3 – 4

Suggested Bet – CAPPO D’ORO WIN

RACE 5

TOUCH OF SILVER is a classy type working his way through the grades quickly. By all reports he was scratched last week to be saved for this. After the claim for Clint Johnston-Porter he goes around with the luxury weight of 52.5kg. He should be too good. NORTH RIDGE enjoyed a lovely passage at his most recent start and proved too strong. He looks the danger. MY MAGIC MISS drops back to 1800m and is having her first run for a month. CORPORATE LARRIKIN is a query at the trip but rolling in front he can finish in the first four.

Suggested – 7 – 1 – 4 – 2

Suggested Bet – TOUCH OF SILVER WIN

SuperPick - Race 5 No. 7 TOUCH OF SILVER - Profit Plus – 25% (Win)

RACE 6

RUBIA MISS was solid first-up and the blinkers go on which should sharpen her up. If she can cross from wide then she gets her chance. LIES IN DISGUISE ran well in the same race and appears the main danger of the raced brigade. EPIC GREY has impressed in his trials and Pike goes on for his debut. MONSOON has shown enough in his two starts to suggest he will be competitively.

Numbers – 6 – 7 – 3 – 2

Suggested Bet – RUBIA MISS AND LIES IN DISGUISE

RACE 7

CAPIRINHA is a high class filly who toyed with a similar bunch of horses first-up. She should do the same again. DELICATE MISS can hold up and lead or box seat. She looks a strong place hope again. THE RIVER is another who should be able to get into the first-four. MR MOTOWN next best.

Numbers – 4 – 2 – 9 – 7

Suggested Bet – CAIPIRINHA WIN

RACE 8

This looks the most competitive race on the program. JASPARA resumes from a spell and has been tuned up with a soft trial effort. His best is good enough to pinch a race like this. COME ON BARD has worked hard at his last two starts. WAR JEUNE is a horse on the up. GREY ENIGMA is tracking nicely and has drawn a gate where he can park behind the speed and let down strongly.

Numbers – 5 – 14 – 9 – 2

Suggested Bet – JASPARA AND COME ON BOARD.

BlacksAFake · May 2017

Who's the strapper of the 12 in the last @-)

TheSwooper · May 2017

Well done Thumper. Main Instigator went like a crab. Mind you, I backed plenty of them today.

Gray · May 2017

Airlie Sun is a cross between a cat and a crab

Thumper · May 2017

Cheers swoop, it got my nose in front after some early pain on those favs that kept getting rolled

heard PUNTA had to ask for a Mayne Nickless truck to get the loot home....

yes, back that every time.

Thumper · May 2017

Just caught the replay of Detango going down by a nose and can't say I was impressed by Pike's decision not to use the whip. Stewards questioning a complete waste of time. What did they expect him to say that he thought he was home so didn't bother whipping it.

As a punter I want to see a Jockey doing everything possible to get a horse over the line.

thefalcon · May 2017

I just watched the reply 3 times Thumper, you'd swear Detango got it...maybe because it was on the outside.

Thumper · May 2017

Only place elite flight was in front was on the line by the barest of margins. Detango in front before and after the post, just got the wrong bob.

dungy · May 2017

Caiparina win was just a win to say the least just watched the replay , had it soft in front pricked the ears but didnt kick and the the trainer was going to head to Adelaide not on that run it would struggle at Murray Bridge

I got done multiple times in photos over the same being beaten by the horse on the inside, goes against expectations.

This one got up though because I had a decent bet on the winner.....FOR A PLACE!

haven't seen the replay but in the past Pike's hands and heels approach has been the difference in getting a horse over the line so I couldn't agree with you on this occasion, guess we'll never know

udontknow · May 2017

Said the horse was labouring the last 50m. Why not pull the whip? Oh because in his opinion it would have broken its rythmn. Lol yeah broken its rythmn by going faster lol

DETANGO – Rider reported that the mare got its tongue back during running. Rider was questioned in
relation to his riding of the mare in the straight, in particular, the reason he did not apply the whip to
the mare whilst riding it in a vigorous hands and heels style. He stated that in his opinion when riding
it out vigorously in a hands and heels manner, the mare had responded well to this riding and he was
of the opinion that using the whip through this section would have broken his rhythm and not have
benefitted the mare. He further stated that in his opinion the mare had laboured over the final 50m and
that it had returned with its tongue back. Trainer Mr B. Pope concurred with the evidence of Jockey
Pike and in his opinion that the mare was fully tested, however it was having its first start over this
distance which may have been a contributing factor to it peaking on its run over the concluding
stages. Trainer further stated that he would apply a tongue control gear for its future starts. After
considering the statements, Stewards did not take any further action given Jockey Pike’s explanation
which was deemed reasonable.

Wouldnt have mattered if he used the stick the horse had turned it up by then its a pretty weak animal with the run it was given it should have beaten that lot by 3+

Wolfey forgot to put the blinkers on War Jeune and it goes down by a neck to Grey Enigma. $250 fine which seems like peanuts given what would have been invested on the horse.

No mention of what punishment the officials got for missing this as well. My guess is a pat on the back.

Wow, that's a howler...from the stewards!

It would appear they're telling porkies too. It says in the stewards report that results have been amended to show War Jeune didn't wear blinkers. I just checked CRIS and lo and behold there is a B for blinkers alongside War Jeune.

G'day Punter!
