ROYAL ASCOT VOBIS GOLD REEF
Results
NDOLA (1) finds a suitable race. He was very good from a hopeless spot here two back in the G3 Cs Hayes Stakes before a sound effort when left with too much to do in the Australian Guineas. Drops a fair way in class for this. ATHANATOS (2) is consistent but struggles to win. He was good in the Vobis Guineas last time at Caulfield and could be an improver on the bigger track here. BOSSY BENITA (6) is racing very well, too strong on pace her past two, dominant in the maiden win and doing it at both ends last time. Measures up. THE MUFFIN MAN (3) was too good at $1.60 last time and maps for a nice run here. Not the worst. STORM SEASON (9) ran some big splits to win fresh at Pakenham although the early market hasn't missed that.

At the latest run 9th of 15 at this track in the G1 Aust Gns on March 1 over 1600m, 5 len behind Feroce carrying 57kg at $14. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 13 at this track in the G3 Cs Hayes on February 15 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Sepals carrying 57kg at $18. Finds the right race.
Racing well. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at Caulfield Vobis Guineas on March 15 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Benagil with 58kg at $3.60. The race before that 2nd of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Bm64 on March 5 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Phenom with 61.5kg at $2.35. Suited to this track, can improve again.
Third-up today. Resuming 3rd of 12 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 26 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Bossy Benita with 58kg at $7.50. Last start favourite; won by 0.8 len at Sandown-Hillside Mdn-Sw March 19 over 1400m defeating Sumo Sandy with 59kg at $1.60. Going well, each way hope.
Dual acceptor. Second-up. First-up after four months 7th of 9 at Caulfield Vgold Dash on March 15 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Winnasedge carrying 55.5kg at $26. Previously second-up second last of 14 at Morphettville Parks in the LR Oaklands on June 29 over 1400m, on heavy track; 18 len behind Femminile carrying 54kg at $12. Fitter and should only improve.
Dual acceptor. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Caulfield Vobis Guineas on March 15 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Benagil carrying 56kg at $18. The run before that 2nd of 8 at Kilmore Bm64 on February 21 over 1450m, 1.75 len behind Spirit Of Jo with 58kg at $4. Will not find this easy. Has ability but this looks a tough assignment.
Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 0.5 len at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Bm70 March 19 over 1400m defeating Excelindeed with 54.5kg at $7. The start before that won by 3.5 len at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw February 26 over 1300m defeating El Tercero carrying 56kg at $3.60. Flying, can measure up.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 7th of 17 at this track Inglis Sprint on March 1 over 1200m, 3 len behind El Morzillo carrying 55kg at $201. Second-up 5th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Bm70 on March 19 over 1400m, 2 len behind Bossy Benita with 54kg at $26. Has a bit more to find.
Dual acceptor. Second-up. First-up after six months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Pakenham 0 - 62 on March 13 over 1400m, 2 len behind Trangoojahray with 57.5kg at $9. Previously second-up came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 5.5 len at Ballarat Synthetic 3yo Mdn-Sw August 13 over 1400m defeating La Plage with 56kg at $1.90. Harder here though and doesn?t rate highly.
Third race start. First start 7th of 11 at Ballarat 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 17 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Lady Sadler carrying 56kg at $13. Went for a spell before returning ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Pakenham Mdn-Sw March 13 over 1400m defeating Comanche Miss carrying 57kg at $9. Nice win fresh, wouldn't discount entirely.
