Best From The West: Ascot – 7th December 2019

3 minute read

Last day of the Masters series has the G1 Kingston Town Classic as its highlight race.

The second best race on the day is the AJ Scahill Stakes and we're going for the girl to give the boys a caning with Flirtini backing up from the Winterbottom.

That was a race dominated from the front and her style didn't get the right set up last week.

She has been flying so it is as good a time as any to see if she does run a strong 1400m but it is hard to see why not.

This race is nowhere near as strong as the G1 and she's run good races backing up before.

At the slightly slower tempo and better draw, maybe she can have a few behind her in running and charge over the top.

Onto the big one and we're giving the 3yos a good hope so given she deserves a huge change of fortune, happy to think Kay Cee is great value.

She won the Burgess Queen then was last turning and flashed home in Champion Fillies behind Tuscan Queen. Now she runs fav here.

Kay Cee then backed up and rattled home in the WA Guineas so she is screaming out for the added furlong.

From this starting point the inside draw will help her sit around midfield, as she did in that recent win, instead of having to go back to last.

We're just looking for luck from the 600m home but at $13 we can have a swing each way.

1400m TURF GOOD

After recording four prior placings at stakes level, The Celt broke through with a smart win in this Group 3 race, his eighth win (12 placings) from 39 starts. He travelled nicely back in eighth place, one off the rails, improved between runners at the home turn, then sprinted quickly to hit the front at the 50m before winning in good style. Valour Road raced outside the leader (Flow) at a moderate tempo then went to the front at the 100m, only to be caught in the closing stages for second. Abdicator settled in fourth place, moved up at the 200m and then fought well for third. Stageman was near last to the home turn and came with a late run in the sprint home for fourth while the favourite Flirtini was settled just beyond midfield and then ran on reasonably well for sixth, seeming not to back-up after her good run in last week's Winterbottom Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m).
