The Scenic Blast is the good race on the Ascot program this Saturday.

In that Listed event, it is hard to see Flirtini not going on with things now that she has won again.

She was so impressive in the Miss Andretti coming from near last and rounding them up with ease.

All Willie Pike had to do was give her clear air. Her strength was there at 1100m so the added ground won't be a hurdle.

She has 2kg extra for that win but it is hard to see them holding her out with the same luck and course in running.

In the race before Prince Devoutly can bounce back now out to the 1200m in a race that suits better.

Last outing he was simply run off his feet over the short course, forced to come from last and closing to within 1½ lengths.

From the low draw, even if he's shuffled back, he will not be covering ground and you can just see Pike ducking and weaving which he does brilliantly.
