Talented four-year-old Crown Lawyer appears well placed to make a winning return, when set to contest the seventh event at Ascot on Saturday.
A winner of five of his 17 starts, the son of Not A Single Doubt raced in good order last preparation, despite only collecting the sole victory.
Not disgraced behind the Group 1 placed Watermans Bay at his next outing, Crown Lawyer again put up form easily good enough to win on Saturday.
Appearing to have trained off at his last start prior to a break, Crown Lawyer has since trialled very well off a break and looks well placed with the aid of Jordan Turner's claim.Crown Lawyer has placed in three of five attempts fresh and should enjoy a lovely run in transit from the middle draw.
Currently installed a 4-1 chance appears more than a worthy gamble, as we have him marked the 5-2 favourite.Using Timeform weight adjusted ratings, Crown Lawyer does hold a class edge on his rivals and if able to perform up to his peak, he sets a lofty standard.
The Simon Miller trained Liberty's Gem continued to make impressive ratings spike during his maiden preparation and is tipped to make a winning return in the opening event.Having only tasted defeat once, Liberty's Gem boasts some impressive form lines and has trialled very well in the lead up.
In-form apprentice, "Smoking Joe" links aboard for the first time and is currently striking at 38% with the Simon Miller stable.From the inside draw, he is likely to take up the running and should have no trouble controlling the tempo.
Using Timeform weight adjusted ratings, he rates clear and presents good value at his current quote (5-4).If priced aggressively we have marked closer to a $1.70 shot and he should be able to kick off the day on a winning note.
