Ascot Race 3 - $5M Byd Quokka 18Th April 2026 Hcp (C3)
MR KISSINGER (3) bounced back from a disappointing effort at Bunbury to just miss last start at this track and trip as the race favourite. He rates highly on that effort and if he gets a touch of luck from the barrier, he can return to winning ways. MISS VALMALENCO (2) won well two back at Belmont before a 3.4L defeat at Pinjarra most recently. Her form is hard to knock though and the claim of Nottle is a big tick. Draws much better today than she has in recent runs and she'll take catching. CAPORETTO (5) looks an improver today. Her recent form is just average, but that's all over 1400m and his record at this track and trip is strong. Drawn well with Chris Parnham on board, it's easy to think he can bounce back to his best. LIPSTICK JUNGLE (4) will find this much easier and gets the blinkers on today. Not to be discounted. MASTERLY (1) never got into the race fresh but usually improves with a run under his belt. Drawn inside and won't be far away.

Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at this track Cl1 on March 18 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Publicise with 59kg at $3.20. The race before that ran last of 13 at Bunbury 3yo Hcp 62+ on March 7 over 1200m, 14 len behind Swingman carrying 53kg at $71. Narrowly beaten as favourite last time and can go a couple better today.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on February 28 over 1000m, 2 len behind Pingers carrying 54kg at $91. Last start raced on the pace before fading 8th of 12 at this track 0Mwly on March 14 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Urquharts Bluff carrying 54kg at $19. Blinkers go on now an she makes plenty of appeal third-up and back in grade.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start did the work up front then tired 5th of 11 at Belmont Park Cl3 C&G on March 4 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind History Won't Care with 57kg at $21. The start before that did the work up front then tired 6th of 13 at Pinjarra Scarpside Cl3 C&G on February 22 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Desert Waves carrying 57.5kg at $18. Recent form is a little iffy, though back to 1200m can see him improve sharply.

Most recently won by a long-neck at York March 15 over 1200m defeating Maxine's Wish with 57.5kg at $11. The start before that 6th of 10 at Belmont Park Mdn on February 25 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Can't Catch Me carrying 57kg at $51. Much tougher assignment today and looks outclassed.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last preparation 2nd of 8 at Mendooran Cl2 on September 6 over 1500m, head behind Akauwheo with 54kg at $4.20. First up last campaign eased back early on 5th of 9 at Narromine Bm50 on April 29 over 1300m, in the wet; 4 len behind Podcast with 59.5kg at $6.50. Sure to be about the money.

First-up. Finished off last campaign second last of 14 at this track Westspeed Final December 6 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Auto Cruise with 55kg at $201. Previously first up; second last of 13 at this track Westspeed Plat November 22 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Bartime with 55kg at $201. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
