The Detonator Stakes is the feature on the Ascot card and we think it’s the second leg of a Pike double.
Firstly, the opening race looks ripe for Seven Castles to open his account.
He was back in the field on debut in August and worked home nicely then but has spelled and trialled positively since.
Should be getting a sweet run in the race allowing Pike to ease him out into the clear and finishing over an even lot of three year olds.
It could be the start of a really good day as per usual.
We then jump on him again in the Detonator where the Perth Cup winner Star Exhibit is back already.
It is interesting that they are running him here however it is hardly an exciting line up and he only has to give the second top weight 3kg despite 21 points in ratings.
He’s been kept up to the mark with a trail since and to be honest seems great odds even though winning the Cup at 30s.
Pike can just sit him midfield off the draw and get moving with momentum before the corner.
