R7. Raceday Hospitality At Ascot Handicap - 1 January 1970
|
Crystal clear
Hopefully we see Pike steer Red Ora to victory in the previous race and is full of confidence to ride a race to race double. Has the ride on Crystal Gardens for Adam Durrant, and interestingly has decided to ride it over the Bob Peters horse Paris Dream. Crystal Gardens has been closing in on a win and her last few runs in mid week company have been encouraging and today is his day to breakthrough. Will relish the 1600m and will be storming home late. Flying image is one that I will throw into 2nd at odds. Won well first up leading all the way over 1400m. Hasn't been suited in it's last 2 starts and will enjoy stepping up to 1600m and a drop in weight. Wouldn't be surprised to see him jump to the front and lead all the way. Paris Dream just missed out last start when it couldn't run down the top weight here in Muskets at Dawn. Will struggle from barrier 1 and will need a stellar ride from apprentice Clint Johnston-Porter to get the money. The 2 Mathews trained Gallopers Nullaki and Warbrook have been their abouts in the previous runs and deserve to be considered and included in your any of your novelties. Muskets at Dawn was very heavily supported last start 16s into 6s and dually saluted, however was getting swamped at the finish and the 1600m seems a bit of a stretch. Silver romance loses Shaun O'donnell and picks up Camilleri and will be out classed here.

I would have suggested Spangled Impact, but even her times were not fantastic looking towards a Karrakatta Plate. She would want to improve considerably. 2YO's need to be running low 1.05's over 1100M to be considered a threat in a KK. 1.07 on a track rate...

Well that's the reason I ask in the first place. But most years, the eventual good 2YO's and thereafter, haven't emerged by this time.

if its the best so far.. who is going to be the threat then Damien? I think Trademark might come on after its win a few weeks back.

agree regarding Spangled Impact. Maybe we haven't seen the best 2yo's come out to play yet?

Spangled Impact is the best 2yo so far

In the 2YO race, they didn't break the minute, and the last 600M wasn't particularly fast either. So could any of the smarter types on here let me know if any 2YO's so far this season have impressed, or are they at this stage just a bit pedestrian ? I just kee...
