Verdict

WESTERN ACTION (1) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1 m at this track, finishing second and 18 metres from the winner. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. PLAYFUL MISS (2) had been about the mark in recent runs before the latest appearance when she finished 19 metres away in third over 1 m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up so she can keep the ball rolling. THE REAL ROCKETMAN (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1 m at this track last time out. Each-wayt. ASCOT SHOWTIME (4) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1 m.
