Ascot Race 3 - Dave Mullen Wines: The Italian Wine Merchant (Bm66+)
HOLLER NUFF (8) missed narrowly fresh before getting the job done at his last start over 1200m at this track. We'll get a guide on his form in the opening event of the day, with this son of Justify stepping up to the mile today. CJP sticks third-up and he can bring up back-to-back wins. STYLISH LORD (1) is racing well without winning, being in the finish in stronger races than this recently. He comes into this on the fresh side and gets some help with ZJP's claim. Won't have to work too hard from the good draw today and can return to the winners list. MACCIATEAU (7) is one who is going better than his form suggests. He stuck on well behind a smart one last time out and now gets a chance to sit closer from a good draw today. Like the way he's ticking along and now he gets his chance. MORE THAN ENUFF (6) is fitter now and can improve on the fresh effort. MANHATTAN STRIP (9) is right in this on his best form.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 3rd of 8 at this track Rtg 72+ on February 28 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Fancy Red with 55.5kg at $8.50. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track Rtg 72+ on February 7 over 1600m, 1.4 len behind Soldanelle carrying 53kg at $5. Hard to knock on recent form and ticks plenty of boxes.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 4th of 13 at this track Rtg 65+ on February 28 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind King Hit carrying 54kg at $41. Second-up sat on the pace before fading 7th of 10 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on March 21 over 1500m, 4 len behind Searchin' Times carrying 56kg at $15. Might struggle again.

The start before that eased back early on 9th of 12 at Bunbury Grad Hcp 60+ on March 7 over 1675m, 7 len behind Bird's The Word carrying 58kg at $51. Needs to improve further, and only looks a rough place hope.

Second run back. First-up after five months 4th of 11 at Belmont Park 0Mwly on March 25 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Rally The Troops with 55.5kg at $8.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Pinjarra Grad Hcp 60+ on June 28 over 1600m, 0.6 len behind Arcadia Park carrying 57kg at $11. Strong fresh and he can build on that effort.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 3rd of 13 at Bunbury 3yo Hcp 62+ on March 7 over 1200m, head behind Swingman with 54kg at $31. Second-up settled well back; won by 0.9 len at this track 3yo Hcp 62+ March 21 over 1200m defeating Swingman carrying 55kg at $6. Up in trip, but it doesn't look an issue and he looks a gelding on the way up.
