This seven-year-old gelding has had 26 starts for nine wins and seven places and has won two of his six starts this campaign. He angled three wide on the turn and finished runner-up to Flirtini in the Listed Miss Andretti Stakes over 1100m at Ascot on 16 January, before being swamped late for 1.14 lengths 4th in the Listed Scenic Blast Stakes over 1200m at Ascot on 30 January.

Each Way
Time To Sizzle (Ascot Race 9 No. 6):
This four-year-old mare trained by Martin Allan has six wins and two places from 11 starts, and five of her wins were at this track. She won by 0.31 length over 1000m at Ascot on 30 Janaury, then was tiring late but held on for a 0.77 length win after leading all the way over 1000m at Ascot on 30 January. She has drawn very wide but is still good enough to place here.

Best Lay
Western Empire (Ascot Race 8 No. 6):
This three-year-old gelding trained by Grant and Alana Williams is the early favourite in the WATC Challenge Stakes for 3YOs over 1500m. He ran 1.32, 0.12 lengths 3rd in the Listed Sir Ernest Lee-Steere Classic over 1400m at Ascot on 5 December, then after an 8 week break he broke his maiden with a 2.19 length win over 1100m at Bunbury on 31 January. He is a nice horse but is under the odds in this race.

Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet is caught on the one win but gets a great opportunity to double that and has been knocking on the door for a win. Best Bet Cobblestone Way (Seymour Race 5 No. 7) Narrowly denied last time out in this grade and gets a great chance to return to the winners stall. Drawn well, boasts a placing over this trip and is the clear one to beat. Analyst:

Key Comments The track is rated good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Samurai Warrior (Toowoomba Race 1 No. 2) He’s placed at both runs this preparation and is due for a change of luck. The 3 kg claim will help and he can break his maiden here. Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Entitle (Toowoomba Race 3 No. 9) This filly has placed at both of her starts

Key Comments There are 8 races on the synthetic track where the rail remains in the true position. Best Bet Synergy In Motion (Gold Coast Poly Race 6 No. 6) Won at this track and distance last start by 5.3 lengths and seemed to enjoy the poly surface. Should win again. Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way The Claimant (Gold Coast Poly Race 7 No. 3) Has placed at his last 2 start
