Top Australian sprinters Nature Strip and Home Affairs have worked at Ascot for the first time.
The pair, trained by Chris Waller, were put through their paces at the Berkshire venue on Friday. Nature Strip, the world’s top-rated sprinter, is on course for a mouth-watering clash with American raider Golden Pal in the King’s Stand Stakes on Tuesday, while Home Affairs runs over a furlong further in Saturday’s Platinum Jubilee Stakes.
Galloping individually over four furlongs, they stretched out having been restricted to canters since their trip over.
