Ascot horse racing tips

Race 1. (15:34) Liquor Barons BM72 (1000m)

#4 – Haida Gwaii

Winning form is with Haida Gwaii, who is seeking her fifth consecutive win and her third in a row at Ascot.

The four-year-old mare owns six wins from 11 starts overall, and she doesn’t need to improve too much to beat this field.

She is a good bet in the opening race.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 2. (16:11) Croser Sparkling Plate (1100m)

#6 – She’s Hot

She’s Hot has made a positive start to her career with four starts for a win and two placings, and she could add to it on Saturday.

The Daniel Morton-trained filly won at Pinjarra two starts back before running third at Ascot behind Our Naughty Secret.

It’s a good form guide, so put her on top.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (16:51) Magic Millions Plate (1100m)

#1 – Daryte

Daryte was a drifter in betting when scoring on debut, but the money should come for her this time around.

The three-year-old filly won by 3.3 lengths as a $3.30 chance, which was a fantastic price for a filly with good trial form.

She gets the inside draw and Pike sticks like glue.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 4. (17:28) Vale Don Martin BM66 (1200m)

#3 – Fancy Red

Boasting five wins and five placings from 11 starts is Fancy Red, who should keep that form going.

The Adam Durrant-trained mare ran second at her only start at Ascot, which came by a narrow margin last time out.

It’s another good ride for Pike, who could have a big day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (18:05) PKF Perth 1MW (1500m)

#8 – Superfluous

Punters should get value odds for Superfluous, who looked good when running home well at Pinjarra last time out.

The four-year-old gelding by Needs Further is drawn well, and he should get a sweet trip in transit throughout.

Look for each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (18:40) Tabtouch Westspeed Platinum (1500m)

#4 – Forever Dreaming

Forever Dreaming has only one win at Ascot from 24 starts, but she is threatening to win here after back-to-back placings.

The seven-year-old mare was a short margin behind the winner last start as a $17 chance, and she will be at shorter odds here.

We’re happy to include her in picks at the price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (19:18) Ascot Mile BM84 (1600m)

#3 – Silver Eye @ $3.20

Most of the early money has come for Silver Eye, who turned his form around with back-to-back wins at Ascot.

The five-year-old son of Sessions was struggling to show his best form, but he got the better of a good field when winning by 1.5 lengths last start.

It’s the best form guide for this race.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (19:53) Peters Investments BM66 (1600m)

#5 – Deamber

There should be value odds for Deamber, who wasn’t far away when running second last time out at Ascot.

The six-year-old mare doesn’t meet an overly tough field here, and she’s good enough to take advantage at odds.

Getting 3kg off her back is another positive.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (20:32) Mrs Mac’s 1MW (1100m)

#1 – De Grandhomme

We backed De Grandhomme last week when he ran second, and he’s good enough to get back to winning form.

The four-year-old son of Star Turn owns five wins and four placings from 14 starts, so the form is on the board.

He’s another with a 3kg claim to help with the big weight.

Stake: 1.5 Units
