The Ascot Feature Rankings

Posted on | Posted by Digby Beacham

WINTERBOTTOM STAKES – Nov 21

1 – TREKKING

In a perfect world, would have drawn a bit lower than 11. That said, he’s hard to knock on what we have seen previously and at the trials this week.

2 – INDIAN PACIFIC

The new kid on the block. Gets winkers and has been afforded a perfect barrier.

3 – STAGEMAN

Doesn’t have his photo taken all that often, but is going particularly well.

4 – VALOUR ROAD

Forget his most recent run. Lovely gate and gets back on top of the ground. A Group 3 winner two starts ago at WFA.

5 – CELEBRITY QUEEN

Has a terrific turn of foot, yet there isn’t much of her and she has come up with an awkward gate. Respecting the stable.

KINGSTON TOWN CLASSIC – Dec 5

1 – INSPIRATIONAL GIRL

How can you not be in her corner after the Railway Stakes triumph?

2 – DOM TO SHOOT

Thinking this bloke might be the best chance of the three-year-olds given the way he is going. Would love to see him draw low.

3 – KAY CEE

Proven WFA performer. Prepared to forgive her plain Railway run.

4 – TOO CLOSE THE SUN

Hard to see him turning the tables on Inspirational Girl from the Railway, but he makes his own luck.

5 – SNICKERDOODLEDANDY

By settling on her, it isn’t anything against Watch Me Dance. Just feel she might be able to overcome a tricky gate should that arise.

PERTH CUP – Jan 2

1 – TRULY GREAT

His Railway run was full of merit. Will be a force once the distances increase.

2 – NEUFBOSC

Airborne. A Perth Cup hopeful winning third-up over 1400m at Listed level is proof of that.

3 – TOO CLOSE THE SUN

Lindsey Smith couldn’t have this bloke going any better.

4 – MISSILE LAUNCH

Never a hope in the Railway. He will be a factor.

5 – TAXAGANO

The zip is out of him now. He will come into his own as the distances increase.
