Ascot Race 1

A1 Engineering Mdn

Prize Money: $25,000

JUST WALTER JOHN (1) is a lightly raced gelding on resumption who has impressed at the trials coming in. A host of gear changes this time in work suggests he's a more raceable commodity now. He's shown glimpses of his talent through his career thus far, and now he looks set to put it all together. MAYTHISBETHEONE (7) hasn't raced since the Supremacy Stakes in March where she was well beaten after leading the field up. That 2YO form has worked out well, though suspect she's had a slight issue since then. That's the query, but her recent trial was solid and she's got some runs on the board. DUST ASIDE (3) wasn't far away as fave fresh before being outclassed in Saturday grade most recently. Back to this level looks ideal third-up and he can play a leading role. EIGHTYSEVEN LAD (5) has shown some promising signs at the trials and a forward showing is expected on debut. WRITTEN WORDS (2) should be better for the fresh effort and can improve.

Second run back. First-up after six months crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 14 at Geraldton Mdn on December 27 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Spare A Prayer carrying 56.5kg at $1.95. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at Pinjarra 2yo Swp on June 28 over 1200m, 6 len behind Mardusa with 56kg at $16. Only fair fresh despite a strong trial coming in and improvement is expected.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track Mdn on December 10 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind The Nun carrying 56.5kg at $2.15. Second-up raced on the pace before fading 8th of 11 at this track 3yo Plate on January 1 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Sound Of Speed with 53kg at $9. Profiles nicely. Can improve on the last start effort coming back in to maiden grade.

Resuming after a ten months break. Not seen since she finished last of 9 at this track in the LR Supremacy March 29 over 1000m, 11 len behind Luana Miss carrying 54kg at $31. On debut third of 12 at this track 2yo Swp March 1 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Split The Gee carrying 55kg at $6. Here off a decent spell but her trials suggest she can run a big race.
