AU - Ascot - Race 5

ABERDEEN FLYER (7) won the Roberts before just missing in the Melvista and not running the extra trip of the Derby. His trial recently was superb and suspect he'll be a miler this time in. Maps to get every chance on resumption and he's very attractive with the profile he brings into this. POND MASTER (9) won by a nose fresh before a narrow defeat last start at 6f behind Six Shooter. Out to 7f now is a good move and he's won 2/3 when third-up in the past. Drops in weight and can get back to winning ways without surprising. ELITE MISSILE (2) had fans in the Hannans but got well back and never featured when fresh. He usually dips second-up, but his fresh run was too bad to be true and he can improve quickly under this scenario. SIX SHOOTER (4) was just fair in a recent trial. Out to 7f now is a niggle, but it's hard to knock his winning form. NOBLE CONNECTION (5) trialled nicely recently and has claims first-up.
