Race Tip

SKY DUKE (2) is ready to break through after collecting his 5th minor placing in a row last time over 6f at Ascot. Has a high cruising speed. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. CLOSE TALKER (4) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 1.2 lengths, over this journey at Ascot. Leading player. CATCH CARTER (5) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 2 lengths away in third when resuming last start over 5f at Ascot. Is a winner at this circuit. Strong claims on his best form. AMERICAN ESCAPE (10) last appeared on February 15 when a good fifth over 6f in Listed grade at Pinjarra, beaten 2.25 lengths. One to consider.
