Ascot
Verdict
YONGA LASS (11) has been well fancied in stronger events than this recently, just missing in the R.J. Peters last week. This looks a perfect race for her and she draws a great barrier for Pike. Ready to peak third-up and this race looks hers for the taking. DEVOTED (6) returns to the west following a commendable effort in Victoria. Now with Luke Fernie, he's trialled well coming into this and he has plenty of ratings high enough to get the job done in this event. Can run a bold race on resumption. INVESTMENTSTRATEGY (9) couldn't hold on when setting the tempo in the R.J. Peters last start, only beaten 0.6L. Loves this track and trip and he's a third-up winner in the past. Still some improvement to come and he can go close to winning. ALL THE KING'S MEN (8) rates highly off a strong fresh effort and brings different form into this. Loves the track and trip and can go close. VALOUR ROAD (1) is better than he showed last start and ticks plenty of boxes today.
