Day 3 of the Ascot Maters continues on Saturday with the running of the Drummond Golf Kingston Town Classic.

Hall Of Fame trainer Neville Parnham is unsure if Kay Cee can overcome hot favourite Western Empire in the Group 1 Heineken 3 Railway Stakes (1600m) on Saturday, but he is confident the Playing God mare enters the $1 million race in top shape.

Next week sees the running of the Group 2 Lee Steere Stakes (1400m) and Listed Fairetha Stakes (1400m) at Ascot. The Lee Steere Stakes looms as a select field, while the three-year-old colts and geldings get their chance to press their claims for the WA Guineas. Last year’s Fairetha Stakes was taken out by Kallaroo, above.

Next week sees the running of the Group 3 Northerly Stakes (1400m) and Listed Crawford Stakes (1000m) at Ascot.

Trainer Neville Parnham is confident Kay Cee can recapture her best form and be a serious contender in major races at the upcoming Ascot carnival
