Ascot Race 3 - Stevie Litton 60Th Birthday (Bm66+)
CELESTIAL STORM (2) settled midfield out to 1200m last start and stuck on well there when a 20-1 chance. Back in trip now and in grade as well with Pike hopping on board. Ticks plenty of boxes and this presents as a strong opportunity to bounce back to winning ways. SANTANOVA (3) got well back last start over this track and trip but was too good, finishing in strong splits to win rather easily. The form out of that race has been strong since and he can sit a touch closer today from the barrier. Doesn't lose much with Parnham replacing Pike and another forward showing is on the cards. ROLLING RULER (7) missed by 1L when the odds-on favourite last start and comes back to a track and trip he's won at previously. Tougher here but he's hinted that he's up to this grade and he can make his presence felt. NICCIMOTA (8) is better than what we saw last start and can bounce back. LOST GRAVITY (6) is third-up now and usually improves sharply.

First-up. Finished off last preparation 11th of 14 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ October 25 over 1400m, soft track; 8 len behind Nicciana with 60.5kg at $13. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.0 len Pinjarra 0Mwly May 14 over 1000m defeating Oracle Son carrying 56.5kg at $12. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Recent form sound. Most recently raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at Bunbury Cl3 on January 26 over 1100m, 1.0 len behind Pingers carrying 60.5kg at $1.75. The run before that took up a position near the tail 3rd of 15 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on November 29 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Thermosphere Lad with 57.5kg at $15. Looks well placed over this track and trip and he can go one better now.

Second-up sat on the pace before fading 10th of 13 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on January 17 over 1000m, 4 len behind Santanova with 56.5kg at $11. Is better than he showed last time out and can get back to winning ways.
