The Autumn carnival is almost over but still some decent horses are running at Ascot.

One of the last days of features sees the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic run for the fillies and mares and Angelic Ruler deserves a good race win.

While she hasn't been winning races, most of the time she has been so consistent and in infinitely tougher races than this.

She was close up in the How Now, Blazer and Tristarc Stakes in the Spring in Melbourne before resuming at home with a fast finishing second.

Obviously Flower Of War will be hard to beat again having the front position on her side.

But with a little weight pull and the added furlong, her finishing speed looks so much harder to hold out.

Back to Race 4 and Cuballing tries to remain unbeaten and this is a lovely race to maintain that.

He progressed from a Bunbury maiden to a midweek win here then spelled.

Racing right up on the pace will only help around Ascot and these progressive 3yos often thrive after their first break.

With a couple of other chances in the race we may even do better than the odds on offer before Saturday.
