Comments: Ascot 2-1 Mineour's Luck snuck home to win his Maiden at Bunbury when a $2.80 favourite. This looks like a nice stepping stone and he should run well, especially as he's the only winner in the race. Ascot 4-2 Palace Gossip never gave the opposition a look in last time when leading throughout over this course and in this grade. After the claim gets in with the same 3kg over the limit as she had last time so there's no reason why she can't repeat the effort. Ascot 5-2 Sportsground flogged them at his first start in the west since moving from NSW and then couldn't sprint home quickly enough to win at Pinjarra. Has drawn off the track here, which won't help but if he can get a clear run then should be in the finish. Ascot 6-2 Vain Idol is another last start course and class winner that steamed home from nowhere to score narrowly at double figure odds. He's in better after the claim than he was last time so if there's any pace on up front then you'd expect him to be a chance again.
