Ascot Race 4

Royal Ascot Winning Breeders' Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $89,667

PINHOLE (4) represents notable connections. Posted a below par 5L eighth attempting the 2800m G2 Queen's Vase at the Royal meeting here last month. Respect as set to to make amends. ASSAIL (2) ran with credit earlier this month when 3.5L fifth contesting a lower graded 2400m handicap at Kempton AW. Won at this fixture last year. Big chance. ARQOOB (5) recorded a good 2.5L fourth contesting a 2000m handicap at Sandown two runs ago. Holds claims. DREAM HARDER (3) makes appeal after a smart second among this company tackling the trip at Epsom Downs two starts back. Might feature.

Third-up today. Freshened for 37 days. First-up 4th of 8 at Chester in the G3 Chester Vase Stakes on May 7 over 2500m, 10 len behind Lambourn carrying 58kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell 8th of 13 at this track in the G2 Queen's Vase on June 18 over 2800m, 5 len behind Carmers carrying 58kg at $5. Shows promise. Capable of sharp improvement.
