Ascot Race 1 - Mca Polytrack Plate
It looks as though of the better 2YOs are stepping out now with AURUM BELLE (8) the pick of those in this event. Out of G2 winning and G1 placed mare Dame Giselle, the daughter of Snitzel has impressed at the trials under Brad Parnham and looks to have plenty of ability. Maps nicely and can make a statement on debut. AFIREOFGIDGEECOALS (3) was far too good for his rivals in a 1000m heat most recently with Pike in the saddle. Out of a stakes-winning mare and his siblings have had plenty of success. Pike sticks from his latest trial and he can play a leading role on debut despite the wide alley. FIREARM (2) was sound on debut back in October and hit the line nicely in his latest trial behind AFIREOFGIDGEECOALS. Worth keeping on side with his race experience. GREY OL' DAY (4) has been behind AURUM BELLE in both trials coming in and has to be included with that form. STERN EMPIRE (7) was solid on resumption 21 days ago and can't be discounted.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 5th of 9 at this track 2yo Plate on October 11 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind All On Red with 57kg at $4.20. Hit the line nicely in his recent trial behind Afireofgidgeecoals and a bold run is expected.

Gelding by Snippetson making his first race start. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Was runner-up in a trial at Belmont Park on February 16 over 1000m. Handy trials around Aurum Belle have him set to run well.

Two-year-old colt making debut by Splintex out of Aphrodite Rock. Was second in a 400m trial on February 16 at Belmont Park. Makes debut on home track so well worth keeping safe first time out.

Second-up. First start 7th of 14 at this track 2yo Swp on November 8 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Beatty carrying 54kg at $31. Went for a break before returning ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track 2yo Swp on February 7 over 1000m, neck behind Ruthless Angel with 54kg at $5. Good effort last time out and she'll has the fitness and experience on her rivals.

Filly by Snitzel on debut. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Won trial at Belmont Park over 1000m on February 16. Out of multiple G2 winning and G1 placed mare Dame Giselle. Can make a statement on debut.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old filly by Profiteer out of Forest Fantasy. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Belmont Park February 16. Hard to have here barring a strong move in the market given trial form.
