R5. Ascot Racing Carnival - Book Now Handicap - 1 January 1970

Forever Diamonds, Forever Pike

Selections

Forever Diamonds was savaging the line late first-up behind tare away leaders Furious Dame and Conseated. Those form lines have held up with those two gallopers running the quinella in a subsequent Saturday race and Le Patron who finished midfield behind them winning impressively at Northam on Thursday. Forever Diamonds ran home in 33.85 which was an identical final 600m sectional to Rock Magic later in the day in the Listed HG Bolton. On the 54kg minimum, up to 1300m and with W.Pike jumping aboard I think Forever Diamonds will go very close to winning here. Both Crown Choice and All Too Much should enjoy soft runs up on the speed. Diamond Tonique continues to run home nicely but the concerning part is 630 days since last victory. Hello Paris was never a chance behind Royal Supreme last start, Glenn Smith back aboard is a big plus for her chances. Pushin' Shapes was caught three wide without cover for the entire journey first-up, can improve sharply. Bourbon Dynasty is a Pike only proposition in my opinion but comes from a strong form line finishing second to Chocolate Holic. Bayella must lump 60.5kg which severly dents her claims.

Anyone else smell a rat? Call me cynical (been around too long maybe?) but I feel like all of these tracks woes are some sort of orchestrated push for another agenda, probably political and to do with flogging off the tab. For the greater good of Perth Racing ...
