Indigenous Tennis & Learning / RTSA (Rs0ly)
Consistent performer with a strong record of 4:1-1-1 including 3:1-1-1 at this distance. Carries top weight of 59kg but has the class to handle it. Chris Parnham takes the ride and should position him ideally from barrier 2. Main danger to the top selection despite the weight.
Promising gelding who ran a strong second on debut at Bunbury over 1000m. Gets the services of Brad Parnham from a good middle draw. The step up to 1200m should suit based on his finishing effort last start. Has upside with just one run under his belt.
True Fiction has found form in his recent starts with a win two back at Northam followed by a solid third at Belmont Park over 1400m. The drop back to 1200m should suit his running style and Patrick Carbery stays aboard.

Murlpirrmarra Connection (Rs0ly)
Drawn perfectly in barrier 2 to utilize early speed and should get an ideal on-pace position in a race with fast predicted tempo. The C Parnham/N Parnham combination is elite, and while stepping up 200m, he appears to have the class edge over this field.
Zali's Gift brings solid credentials first-up from a spell with a third-place finish when fresh previously. The filly should settle midfield from barrier 4 and will appreciate the fast tempo predicted.
Testy Pharoah was impressive winning on debut at Kalgoorlie over 1100m. The quick 13-day backup suggests fitness, and trainer Steve Wolfe is adept at placing his horses. Luke Campbell is a quality jockey booking, and while drawn wide, the gelding should have enough early speed to find a position. The step up to 1200m looks suitable, and his win on good ground is encouraging for today's conditions.
The addition of winkers for the first time is a significant gear change that often improves focus, and trainer Dan McAuliffe is skilled with young horses. Brad Parnham is a quality jockey, and from barrier 5, she should get a good midfield position. The drop back from 1400m to 1200m could sharpen her up, making her an interesting value proposition.

Court Talk Patzy & Big D 91.3 SportFM 8am Sundays Mdn
Gets in with just 54kg and has the services of top jockey Clint Johnston-Porter. The likely fast tempo should suit her finishing style, and she appears ready to break through for her maiden win.
Three-year-old gelding with strong form references including a placing in better company. Gets the services of champion jockey William Pike and should improve second-up from a spell.
Consistent performer who has placed 3 times from 8 starts including consecutive seconds at his last two outings. The wide barrier is a concern but experienced jockey Steven Parnham should give him every chance. Has shown he can handle Good track conditions and his recent form suggests he's ready to break through.
Three-year-old filly from the Neville Parnham stable who showed promise with a solid 4th last start at Belmont Park. The significant class drop from Group racing to a maiden is a big positive, and she should improve second-up from a spell.

Elite Beau brings strong credentials with a win at this track and distance, perfect barrier draw, and the services of W Pike. First-up record of 1:1-0-0 suggests readiness, and the inside draw at Ascot's 1000m is a significant advantage.
Promising brings strong credentials with a good record at Ascot (2: 1-0-1) and has mostly raced in higher class. While first-up from a spell with a wide barrier, her strong second-up record (2:1-0-0) suggests she'll improve next start. The wide barrier is the main concern, but her class edge compensates.
The Calabrese brings strong credentials with an excellent record at the distance (5: 2-2-0) and a perfect barrier draw for Ascot's 1000m. While first-up from a spell, his previous fresh runs (2:0-2-0) suggest he performs well when resuming. The class rise is offset by his consistency and tactical speed.
The improving 3yo filly drops from open company and has C Cooper maintaining the ride.

Swick Mining Services Hcp (C1)
Progressive 4YO mare who has shown significant ability in her brief career with 1 win and 1 placing from 4 starts. Her recent form is compelling with a win two starts back and a solid 4th last start in heavy conditions. Gets in with just 55kg and has the services of Z Johnston-Porter. The step up to 1800m looks suitable based on her racing style, and she maps to get a perfect midfield position.
Consistent mare who has found form with consecutive 3rd placings, most recently over 2025m at Bunbury. Her last start performance suggests she'll handle the 1800m journey well, and she maps to get a good run from barrier 3. C Azzopardi retains the ride which is a positive. While her overall record is modest (1-0-2 from 16 starts), her recent form suggests she's found her groove.
Consistent gelding who has been racing well with a 3rd placing last start over 1695m at Bunbury. Gets in with just 51.5kg from the inside barrier which should allow him to secure an economical run. While he's rising in class, the weight relief compensates for this.
Last start winner over 1850m at Toodyay who should appreciate the step up to 1800m at Ascot. While this represents a significant class rise, her recent form suggests she's in career-best form. Brandon Louis retains the ride which is a positive, and she should be suited by the likely moderate-fast tempo.

GTT Ventures Trophy Hcp (C1)
Progressive mare who broke through for a maiden win last start over 1400m at Bunbury. Has been remarkably consistent with 4 placings from 6 starts and appears to be hitting peak form at the right time. The step up in class is offset by her natural improvement curve, and she should get a perfect midfield position from barrier 5 with the fast tempo likely to suit her finishing style.
Consistent gelding who has been racing in stronger company and drops significantly in class here. While his win strike rate is modest (1 from 12), he's been competing at a higher level and should appreciate this easier assignment. Brad Parnham knows him well and should give him every chance.
Gelding who draws the inside gate which should allow him to secure an economical run throughout. Last start was disappointing when 7th, but the return to Ascot could suit. The likely fast tempo should play to his strengths as he can settle midfield and run on strongly.
While her win strike rate is modest, she's consistently competitive and the 10-day spacing between runs is ideal. The lightweight of 56kg is another positive, and Holly Nottle's claim could prove valuable.

SMS Mining Services Hcp (C1)
Progressive filly who won impressively last start over this distance on a soft track. The inside draw should allow her to settle in a perfect position given the likely fast tempo. Clint Johnston-Porter maintains the ride after their last start success.
Lightly-raced gelding with an impressive record of 1 win and 1 second from just 2 starts. Won on debut over 1200m on a soft track and followed up with a close second last start. Carries top weight and has drawn the outside barrier which is a concern, but the booking of William Pike is a significant positive. The class rise is substantial but has the talent to overcome it.
Experienced gelding who is dropping in class after a solid third placing last start. Has strong form at this distance with 1 win, 1 second and 2 thirds from 6 attempts. Patrick Carbery retains the ride and from barrier 7 should get a good position midfield with the expected fast tempo likely to suit his finishing style.
Has drawn perfectly in barrier 2 which should allow him to settle in a good position.

HFM: Tiger Big D & Jock Hcp (C3)
Astro World brings a perfect record at the distance (3: 1-1-1) and excellent second-up statistics (2: 1-0-0) into this race. Though first-up from a spell, her fresh record (2: 0-1-1) suggests she'll be competitive, and the McAuliffe stable typically has them ready to fire. Well-weighted with 56kg and drawn to get a perfect midfield position in a race with genuine tempo, she represents the best winning chance.
Summer''s Legacy represents excellent value dropping back significantly from Group racing where she was competitive. Second-up from a spell with a good record in this pattern (1: 0-1-0), she brings class and consistency to this field. The Williams stable knows how to place their horses, and while barrier 10 isn't ideal, she should get a good midfield position with cover. The 1400m is within her range.
Hoba West comes off a strong last-start win and boasts an excellent record at the 1400m distance (4: 2-0-0). The wide barrier and top weight are concerns, but Steven Parnham is a positive jockey booking who can navigate a path from the draw.
From barrier 4, she should get an economical run in midfield with cover.
