AU - Ascot - Race 3

AMAROO STAR (6) is a promising gelding that made progress as a 3-year-old and resumed with a game neck win here 9 days ago. This is only slightly tougher, and William Pike keeps the faith. Hard to beat again, especially with a kilo less to carry. TYCOON HARRY (4) hit his stride third up here a month ago and led all the way to score by nearly 3 lengths. He loves 5f and will again take some pegging back. PIN DEEP (1) is not as effective on this track as he has been on other circuits, but he has still been placed twice from 8 starts and was less than 2 lengths from the winner when fifth here 9 days ago. Stick with him for all top 4 combos. SIMPLY THINKIN' (2) won 3 of her 6 starts last prep, and she has won a tune-up trial last month to help her get ready for her return. She has the pole position and has to be respected. SONOFTHEBOSS (3) will have the blinkers off this time, and he was only run down late here 4 weeks ago over 6f. Stick with him.
