Ascot horse racing tips

Race 1. (15:28) MCA Polytrack Handicap (1000m)

#6 – Sharpassa

The three-year-old filly has made a good start to her career after posting a win and two placings from three starts.

She scored at Bunbury two back before placing at Belmont, and something close to that run should be enough to be competitive.

Punters should get each-way odds with Castle Road in the field.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (16:03) Tabtouch Westspeed Platinum (1000m)

#4 – Ripper Farooq

Looking to cap off four consecutive placings is Ripper Farooq, who deserves an overdue win at Ascot.

The four-year-old owns four placings from nine starts at the track, and this is a winnable race for him on Saturday.

He gets another chance, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (16:39) City of Belmont Plate (1000m)

#1 – Ruthless Angel

Looking to remain unbeaten is Ruthless Angel, who dug deep to win at Ascot as a $9.50 chance.

The two-year-old filly by Bondi is bred to show early speed, and although there is more depth to this field, she can handle it.

She will likely drop back from the wide draw and flash home late.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (17:19) Peters Investments 1MW (1200m)

#2 – Zing to Win

Zing to Win is shooting for his 10th career win, and although his recent form hasn’t been ideal, he could bounce back.

The five-year-old son of Shooting to Win won’t get a better chance to turn his track form around, as there isn’t much depth in this field.

Punters should get each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (18:00) Croser Sparkling BM72 (1200m)

#7 – Immortal Bliss

Daniel Morton lines up Immortal Bliss, who owns five wins and six placings from 16 starts.

The four-year-old son of I Am Immortal is nearing a win after two placings this campaign, and she maps well for this race.

Barrier two with Lucy Fiore in the saddle adds to our confidence.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (18:36) Happy Birthday Tahlia Allen BM66 (2200m)

#5 – Lillian

Shooting for three consecutive wins is Lillian, who is unbeaten from two attempts at Ascot.

The Michael Grantham-trained mare won by a narrow margin when rising in distance last start and rising to 2200m won’t worry her.

It’s not an easy field, but she’s a solid bet.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (19:14) Pearce Racing Yearling Parade BM66 (1600m)

#1 – Fancy Red

We backed Fancy Red to win last start and the four-year-old mare didn’t let punters down.

The daughter of Sessions won by two lengths in easy fashion, and she now has six wins and five placings from 13 starts.

2kg comes off her back to help with the big weight.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (19:49) Reliable Asset Maintenance Detonator Stakes (1800m)

#13 – Redback Flyer @ $5.50

Boasting two wins from three starts this campaign is Redback Flyer, who improved his record at Ascot to three wins from five starts.

The four-year-old son of Playing God owns five wins from 11 starts overall, so he has become a smart type in the making.

55kg on his back is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (20:25) Mrs Mac's 1MW (1400m)

#8 – Snippety Legend

Boasting four wins from five starts this preparation is Snippety Legend, who improved his record to five wins and six placings from 19 starts.

The five-year-old son of Snitzel has yet to race at Ascot, but it’s a track that should suit him, and he loves the distance.

Look for a betting push on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit
