Ascot horse racing tips
—
Peaceful Ruler owns three wins and a placing from four starts, including back-to-back wins at Pinjarra and Ascot.
The three-year-old son of Universal Ruler won by a nose last time out as a $2.80 chance, and the winning margin could be bigger here.
Getting the inside draw is enough to take it close.
Stake: 2 Units
Boasting two wins from four starts is Rock ‘N’ the Jam, who scored at Ascot in consecutive runs last preparation.
The four-year-old son of Awesome Rock wasn’t too far away when fourth last time out, and there is plenty of improvement to come.
It could pay to watch for late betting moves.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Decoration hasn’t been in winning form recently, but the five-year-old is good enough to find his winning groove.
The son of Epaulette has yet to win from seven attempts at Ascot, but he has been close with two placings, so we’re happy to stick with him.
2kg comes off his back to help with the weight.
Stake: 1 Unit
Rommel’s Goddess has been all around the mark this season, including two wins and three second placings.
The five-year-old mare by Rommel runs some of her best races at Ascot, including a win and five placings, so the form stacks up well.
She should run at each-way odds, so take the value.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Fey King was too good for them late at Belmont Park, and that form should hold up well at Ascot.
The five-year-old son of King’s Troop wasn’t too far away when fourth at Ascot two back, and natural improvement takes him close.
It’s an open field, and he should give punters a good sight.
Stake: 1 Unit
Adam Durrant lines up Queen Aria, who won at Pinjarra earlier this preparation before adding placings at Ascot and Pinjarra.
The four-year-old mare by Pariah owns two wins and five placings from 12 starts, which is a tidy enough record for this race.
55.5kg on her back is enough to take her close.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Beatty showed excellent speed when winning twice last preparation, and we fancy him to keep his unbeaten run alive.
The two-year-old colt by Gingerbread Man could be the next star of the west, and we’re happy to bet on him until he shows otherwise.
Take the $2.30 odds before it firms on race day.
Stake: 3 Units
Another unbeaten runner is Aurum Belle, who is a good multi bet addition with Beatty in the previous race.
The two-year-old filly by Snitzel is bred to be quick, and after winning by two lengths as a $1.35 chance last start, the $1.65 odds are generous.
She is a smart type, and it’s only the wide draw working against her.
Stake: 3 Units
There are some proven types in this race, including Oscar’s Fortune, but we’re joining the hype around Smooth Chino.
The four-year-old gelding is unbeaten from six starts, and he put away a tidy field with ease last time out in December.
That form bodes well, and he’s another unbeaten runner worth backing.
Stake: 2 Units
Punters could get each-way odds for Thermosphere Lad, who ended last preparation with some consistent form.
The six-year-old son of Exosphere owns two wins and five placings at Ascot, so he loves running at this track.
We’re happy to include him in our horse racing picks.
Stake: 1 Unit
