Ascot (WA) – Soft 5
R1 – 1200m | MCA Polytrack Hcp
Analysis
Looks a race likely dominated by the leading two chances. BATISTA debuts for the Simon A Miller yard and shapes as a serious threat straight up. MISS FINKMEYER brings solid Bunbury form into this and has been consistent this campaign. SO SI GOD makes the jump-out to race day for a capable stable and can be included in multiples. MOONSHINE QUEEN resumes after a break and impressed in a recent trial, so shouldn’t be ignored.
Selections
2. Batista (5)
5. Miss Finkmeyer (3)
9. So Si God (6)
6. Moonshine Queen (2)
R2 – 1600m | Unite Resourcing Maiden

The market may centre around the top trio here. THE ROCKET has been knocking on the door and brings strong metro-level placing form into this. SYLVA JACK was unlucky last start and remains a big player. BRADBURY’S MOMENT has overcome tricky draws before and continues to race well. VAMPI QUEEN was narrowly denied last outing and is primed to feature again.

Analysis
Another competitive contest where the main fancies appear evenly matched. ZALI’S GIFT continues to race well in town and is ready to break through.

Analysis
GIRLS ON FIRE should strip fitter second-up and looks well placed to bounce back. QUEEN ARIA comes off a stylish win and looms as a major danger. EXCELINDEED is better suited back in town and can improve sharply. BUNDABERG was unlucky last time and the gear tweak could make the difference.
