Best From The West - April 19

3 minute read

The Meryl Hayley trained I'm A Flash Unit appears well placed to continue his winning ways at Ascot on Saturday when set to contest the fourth event.

Having only been narrowly beaten two back the son of Danbird would go on to show sharp improvement at Pinjarra last start when scoring comfortably over 1200m.

A performance which on Saturday sees him rated clear on 50 day Timeform figures, with his nearest rival the Helen Harding trained Donnyonetime.

From the awkward draw Lisa Staples is expected to roll forward on I'm A Flash Unit and park just off the speed as there does appear to be good speed engaged.

He displayed a sharp turn of foot at Pinjarra last start and was one of few gallopers to reel of a closing sectional quicker than standard.

In what is just his fourth career start on Saturday it is clear he is open for further improvement and does appear very hard to beat on predictive ratings.

The Greg Kersley trained When We Were Kings returned in fantastic order last start and appears poised to break back into the winner's stall in the sixth event.

After being slow away the son of McFlirt worked home powerfully to be only narrowly beaten and should only improve further up to seven furlongs.

On Timeform weight adjusted ratings he sits clear on 50 day figures and he does appear to get all the favours from the good draw.

His form behind the likes of Platinum Rocker, Playing God and Angel Of Mercy reads very well for this affair and with the in-form William Pike aboard he should give a bold sight.
