Picked up a couple of races in the spring. Form has been in decline since and his mark has dropped dramatically. Placed on both starts here but has a stiff task at the weights.

14/1
Has never run a bad race here (one success and five seconds) but his wins to runs ratio (3-43) is only modest and he has work to do at the weights.

Official ratings have him best in and this frontrunner should have an uncontested lead at a track that suits these tactics. Has been holding his form well and acts on any ground.

The reapplication of cheekpieces had the desired effect over 6f here last time. More effective at this trip and would have been rated 7lb higher a couple of months ago. Acts on any going.

Verdict

DESERT ACE has a lot going for him given he is favoured by the weights and is on a track that should suit his style of racing. Apricot Sky is well treated on his form of a few months ago and appeared to be on his way back last time. Compton River likes it around here and will not be far away whilst the race may be set up nicely for The Nazca Lines.
