Ascot

WESTERN ACE (2) ran on powerfully to finish third on debut at Pinjarra, and then improved again off that run to win comfortably here 3 weeks ago. He stays at 1400m, which is a query, but if the pace is genuine up front, then he and William Pike can have the last say again. MAJOR FLIRT (1) flipped his form on its head when winning here 3 weeks ago over 1200m, paying odds of 50/1. He won't be at that sort of money here but will again be looking for gaps and charging home late. Stick with him. REMINISCENCE (8) ran on stoutly for second on debut at Pinjarra 15 days ago and will be suited by the extra furlong second up. There is more depth to this field, but he has scope and can figure in the top 3 again. BEAU'S A LAD (3) was back in form at Pinjarra 10 days ago when finishing second. He can hold that form now and is a top 4 chance again. TORA BORA (10) built nicely to a well-deserved maiden win at Pinjarra 15 days ago. She is bred to improve with time and won't be far away in this.
