Ascot Race 7 - City Of Belmont - Marjorie Charleson Classic
LONDON'S IMAGE (1) just missed over 1400m in the Bunbury Stakes most recently when beaten by Bonjoy who went on with the job following that run. Back to 1200m now is a big tick and this looks to set up nicely for her off a short freshen. Fiore knows her well and she can get back to winning ways. BLACK ORA (7) was very good fresh when flying home to just miss over 1000m, and we'll get a guide on that form earlier in the card. Pike rides her down in the weights and she steps out to 1200m for the first time in a while. The inside draw can see her sit a touch closer and she'll be hard to hold out if the gaps come. CESSATION (6) will be fitter for the fresh run in the Rock Magic Stakes and is better suited out to this trip now. Has enough speed to roll across from out wide and can be in this for a long way. FAST FLICKER (3) is hard to knock on recent form and can feature once again. PETULA (2) can improve sharply with the blinkers going on today.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 14 at Bunbury in the LR Bunbury Stakes on March 7 over 1400m, 0.9 len behind Bonjoy carrying 57.5kg at $4. The race before that settled well back; won by a head at Pinjarra Scarpside LR Pinjarra Clsc February 22 over 1300m defeating Talkanco with 56kg at $6. Well placed here on her recent efforts and she can get back to winning ways.

Second run back. First-up after eight months from last on the turn 7th of 9 at this track Rtg 72+ on April 1 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Sisu Warrior carrying 57kg at $17. Previously second-up eased back early on 6th of 9 at Pinjarra in the LR Newmarket on August 9 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Phanta carrying 54kg at $9. Can improve with that run under her belt and with the blinkers on.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Pinjarra Pearl Classic February 14 over 1200m defeating Galway Shawl with 58kg at $10. Last start eased back early on 7th of 11 at this track Rtg 72+ on March 14 over 1200m, 6 len behind Horcrux with 57kg at $5.50. Disappointing last start and she'll need to bounce back in a big way.

Previously second-up 4th of 9 at this track Rtg 76+ on October 25 over 1000m, slow going 0.5 len behind Too Dardy with 54kg at $3.10. Hard to knock on her fresh effort and can make a statement.

Second run back. First-up after three months 2nd of 8 at this track Rtg 72+ on March 21 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Tycoon Harry carrying 57.5kg at $4.60. Previously second-up settled well back; won by 0.7 len at this track Rtg 66+ October 18 over 1000m defeating The Calabrese carrying 56kg at $5. Strong late first-up and can go one better if she can stretch out to 1200m.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Bunbury Rtg 72+ on March 7 over 1400m, 5 len behind Avoidance with 57.5kg at $12. The run before that won by 1.1 len at Pinjarra Rtg 72+ February 14 over 1400m defeating Antique Star with 52.5kg at $3. Seems a little outclassed in this field.

Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation seventh of 9 at this track Rtg 66+ January 1 over 1200m, 3 len behind Prospector's Pick with 58kg at $11. First up last campaign seventh of 13 at this track in the LR Jungle Mist November 15 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Drakaina carrying 55kg at $26. Might find this a bit too tough.
