Ascot Race 5 - City Of Belmont Plate
HAPPY DANCE (8) got the blinkers on at her latest trial and she went like a rocket, sitting on the speed and running away from her rivals. She looks to get plenty of favours here on debut for Steve Parnham from a good draw. Can sit handy to the speed and land the knockout blow. FIREARM (1) was a little slow into stride but closed off nicely fresh behind smart winner Aurum Belle first-up. Pike now hops on board and he'll not only be better for the fresh effort, but the rise in trip looks ideal also. Can make an impression. AXOPAR (7) comes through the same trials around HAPPY DANCE and has moved well in those outings. Campbell sticks with the filly and it wouldn't surprise to see her make a statement on debut. LONDON ROSE (3) has the race experience and fitness on her side and can be in this for a very long way. LADY TORQUE (10) has shown enough at the trials to suggest she's not out of this on debut.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 14 at this track 2yo Swp on February 21 over 1000m, 2 len behind Morning Thunder with 53kg at $14. The start before that 3rd of 8 at this track 2yo Swp on February 7 over 1000m, 2 len behind Ruthless Angel with 51kg at $11. Creates plenty of interest on her recent form.

Neville Parnham trained two-year-old filly lining up for debut. Progressing well with a recent trial win. The blinkers went on for that trial and they stay on for her debut. Impressed in her latest trial and a forward showing is on the cards fresh.
