AU - Ascot - Race 10

SNITZALATTE (8) has been solid behind the sharp Bassett Hound to begin this campaign and now gets out of his shadow third-up. Out to 6f now is a big tick and if she can slot in from the draw, she makes plenty of appeal with this shaping as a chance to explode. XENTARO (11) beat home Snitzalatte last start over 5f, returning in similar form to how he ended last campaign. He looks ready to raise the bar again this time in work and Chris Parnham sticks. He's a second-up winner in the past and he can get back to winning ways. HURRICANE HARLEY (6) was solid behind Rock Fest two back before a 1.8L defeat in the Asian Beau just last week. Back to 6f is a big tick and he can be flying late in the race. KEEP READING (7) is some niggle out to 6f, but he's third-up here and rates well off his last start win. CAPPER THIRTYNINE (10) creates some interest first-up.
