Ascot Race 2

Glenroy Chaff Plate

Prize Money: $80,000

A tricky 2YO race here. SIPPA SPRITZ (10) is a daughter of Splintex on debut for the Dan & Ben Pearce yard following a recent trial win earlier this week. She showed good speed there and the inside draw should see her up on the pace again here. Can land the knockout blow. RUTHLESS ANGEL (9) comes through the same trial where she was solid behind SIPPA SPRITZ. It's a niggle that Pike doesn't stick from the trials, but she maps for a nice run and that trial looks one of the stronger ones coming into this. BOY CRUSH (1) missed as an odds-on pop after a big win over 1100m on debut. Needs some luck from the draw but the drop in trip looks suitable and he can return to winning ways. RUN RUPERT RUN (3) was quick in a 400m trial recently at Belmont with Chris Parnham sticking from that outing. Can feature in the finish. COS I AM (8) is another who has trialled nicely coming into this and is not to be discounted on debut.

Third race start today. At debut, favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at this track 2yo Swp January 10 over 1100m defeating They'reallsisters with 57kg at $10. Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at this track 2yo Swp on January 24 over 1200m, neck behind They'reallsisters carrying 58kg at $1.85. Just missed a fortnight ago and that form looks strong for a race of this calibre.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, raced on the pace before fading 7th of 11 at this track 2yo Swp on January 24 over 1200m, 6 len behind They'reallsisters carrying 56kg at $51. Draw helps, but hasn't done anything to date to suggest he can win this.

Luke Fernie trained two-year-old colt lining up for first race start. Recent trial winner at Belmont Park. Showed good speed in that trial win and Chris Parnham sticking is a positive sign.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last of 11 at this track 2yo Swp on January 24 over 1200m, 12 len behind They'reallsisters carrying 54kg at $19. Previously second-up 5th of 14 at this track 2yo Swp on November 8 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Beatty with 51kg at $19. Will benefit from that run and is one of the chances.
