Ascot Race 3 - Schweppes - Melvista Stakes (L)
SENTIMENTAL LEGEND (3) bolted in two back before jumping in the market in the Roberts last time out. He couldn't sprint with them there, but gets a weight swing in his favour and the map favours here. Can sit closer this time around and turn the tables. ABERDEEN FLYER (1) was no match in the Lex Piper but he finished off strongly, showing his talents in the Roberts when storming home over the top. He rises in weight today, but he's won the main lead-up and there's no reason why he can't go on with the job. WYNN LAS VEGAS (4) went to the front and was simply too good as an odds-on pop at Pinjarra. The way he finished off there was very impressive and while he does jump to 2200m, it doesn't look an issue. Can take up the running and prove tough to run down. DOMINATUS (2) has disappointed his past couple but the fresh run suggested he was back in good order. Not willing to discount just yet. CARENTAN (7) is next best.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 0.6 len at this track LR J C Roberts March 14 over 1800m defeating Sentimental Legend with 54kg at $3.20. The run before that 2nd of 11 at this track in the LR L Piper on February 28 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind The Crimson Pirate carrying 54kg at $5. Too good last time out and while he meets them worse at the weights, he can continue his winning ways.

Last start 8th of 13 at this track in the LR J C Roberts on March 14 over 1800m, 6 len behind Aberdeen Flyer with 54kg at $13. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at this track in the LR L Piper on February 28 over 1600m, 5 len behind The Crimson Pirate carrying 54kg at $2.30. Needs to life on his past couple but his fresh effort suggests he's in this.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 13 at this track in the LR J C Roberts on March 14 over 1800m, 0.6 len behind Aberdeen Flyer with 54kg at $3.60. The run before that won by 2.5 len at Belmont Park Cl1 March 4 over 1650m defeating Icandoit Onmyown carrying 60kg at $1.85. Couldn't fend off Aberdeen Flyer last start but he gets conditions to suit plus a weight swing in his favour.

Third-up today. First-up 4th of 15 at Pinjarra Scarpside Mdn on February 22 over 1400m, 1.2 len behind Tahni Talk carrying 57kg at $2.90. Second-up favourite; won by 4.5 len at Pinjarra Scarpside Mdn March 12 over 1600m defeating Midnight Star with 57kg at $1.85. Was simply too good from the front last start and he can make a statement.
