Ascot

AUDIO BOY (7) has not won for some time and was third here at this level 4 weeks ago over 1800m. He should be strong enough to handle 2200m now, and with William Pike back in the saddle, he gets a good chance to break his win drought. LONG GENES (9) has been mixing his form and did have a genuine excuse for being beaten in a strong field at Geraldton a fortnight ago. He is at his best when the pace is strong up front, and with a run to suit, he is more than capable of taking this out. STARWALKER (11) has been building up his fitness and steps up to 2200m for the first time this prep, which is a distance that he is unbeaten at in 2 starts. He is down in weight, and a sound top 4 chance here. GRAND RESERVE (3) is capable on his day, and KISSES FROM KELLY (2) is back in form. Include both of them in all combinations in an even contest.
