Ascot

POLYVANOVA (8) was an overdue but deserving maiden winner here in her penultimate start and then led for a long way at Pinjarra 2 weeks ago before being claimed late, finishing third. She is the likely leader in this, and will give them something to peg back again. MYZOOM (13) dropped in class and led all the way to win at York 9 days ago. She can take a sit this time, and has the scope to go on with the job now. ZORBRIST (5) bolted home to score by 5 lengths at Kalgoorlie 2 starts back before having no luck late at Pinjarra a fortnight ago after making an awkward start. With a better beginning, he can bounce straight back into the money. L'IL CAPRI (6) has needed both of her starts back from a spell and has William Pike in the saddle third up. A better effort is on the cards. WESTERN LADY (12) has just battled over a middle distance recently, and the drop down from 1800m to 1400m won't do her any harm. Include in all combinations.
