Ascot Race 9

City Of Belmont (Bm72+)

Prize Money: $80,000

SOLDANELLE (8) wasn't far away as the race favourite over 1500m last time out and the rise to the mile looks perfect. Pike sticks with her, she maps for a lovely run and this presents as a perfect opportunity to return to winning ways. CASHEL PALACE (2) was edged out by a smart one here but lost no admirers with the blinkers on first time. This shapes similarly for Fiore and she rates highly on that latest effort. Can go one better here. ALL GRUNT (6) has been left with too much to do since returning but this sets up nicely for him. Draws inside here out to 1800m and down in the weights. Looks ready to put his best foot forward. BATTLE COMMANDER (1) can lead them up from a handy gate and with the claim of Martinan on his back, he'll be hard to reel in. GREAT FORTUNE (4) should be somewhere near the pace also and can be in this for a very long way.

Most recently 2nd of 9 at this track Rtg 66+ on January 31 over 1600m, nose behind Redback Flyer with 59kg at $4.40. The start before that 6th of 10 at this track Rtg 72+ on January 10 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Silver Eye carrying 56kg at $5.50. Can improve again. Missed in a photo here last week and can go one better on the quick turnaround.

At the latest run 4th of 9 at this track Rtg 66+ on January 31 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Redback Flyer with 60kg at $31. The start before that 3rd in a small field at this track Aus Day on January 17 over 1500m, 4 len behind Silver Eye with 55kg at $31. Unlikely to be playing a role in the finish.

The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on January 10 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Stylish Lord carrying 59.5kg at $14. Racing well and can repeat the dose.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track Rtg 66+ on January 17 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Bold Hero carrying 57.5kg at $3.90. Before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track Grad Hcp 58+ December 13 over 1600m defeating Right To Silence carrying 60kg at $2.80. Close her past couple and this looks well placed to return to winning ways.
