Best From The West: Ascot – 26th October 2019

3 minute read

The Belgravia Stakes is the feature on what looks a hard Ascot program.

There are plenty of hopes in this Listed race and many of them run again from the race two weeks ago over the 1000m.

Dig Deep was one of them and the Karrakatta Plate winner did well despite finishing 7th.

He was back last for much of the race which was no surprise but the finish was a positive. Given that he had no room, it could have been even better.

With the barrier served up he may need to be in the same spot but will be charging the last bit.

The Deep Field gelding was so good to us back in April that we should go again on him at the big odds again.

The race prior sees a very competitive sprint in a 1MW event and we are taking a filly to run a race here in the form of Rocky Path.

The 3yo won very well three runs ago at 1200m then placed before taking on too hard a task in the 3yo Classic but wasn't beaten all that far.

With the weight, hoping they roll the dice and try to sit a lot closer here. It will mean she won't have to have expend as much getting home.

Thinking we do better than the odds on offer at present.

From last, Jericho Missile put in a pulverising burst from the 150m to mow them down and score going away here, his third win (maiden stakes) in six starts. He drifted back to equal last early and was two lengths last at the 600m. Slinging wide making the turn into the straight he balanced, accelerated quickly to be handy, produced a pulverising burst from the 150m to take over the lead with 50m to run then cruised to the line for an impressive win. Special Choice sat second, one out, from the 600m, third turning in then led the chase after the pacemaker. He kept chasing but had to watch the winner fly past then held on gamely for second. Dig Deep was fifth, four wide into the straight, charged into third and kept on strongly for third while War Saint led them in but was caught at the 50m before fading to fourth.
