Ascot Racing Tips for Saturday, May 2nd 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Ascot on Saturday, which includes nine races at the premier meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Western Australian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (13:44) Glenroy Chaff BM66 (2200m)

#2 – Rock in Wonder

It’s a small field, which should help Rock in Wonder after failing to fire in a bigger field last time out.

The six-year-old son of Awesome Rock looked better when placing behind Western Lady two back, which is a tidy form guide.

We expect him to run well based on that effort.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (14:19) Tabtouch Westspeed Platinum (1100m)

#7 – Star Supreme

BET NOW

Neville Parnham lines up Star Supreme, who ran fifth last start, and she should be better for the run under her belt.

The four-year-old daughter of Playing God looked good when winning at Belmont last preparation, and something similar should be enough.

Getting the inside draw is enough to take her close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:54) Liquor Barons Handicap (1400m)

#3 – Scurgeofthewest

BET NOW

Boasting winning form is Scurgeofthewest, who has five wins from his last six starts, and six wins from 11 starts overall.

The five-year-old son of Jimmy Choux has yet to race at Ascot, but it’s a track that should suit him, and he deserves a chance in town.

Having William Pike in the saddle is a good sign.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (15:29) Pearce Racing Ladies Day BM72 (1800m)

#5 – Antique Star

BET NOW

Antique Star didn’t get all favours in the run last time out, but she did well to finish third.

The five-year-old mare by Pierro owns a win and three placings from five starts at Ascot, which is a healthy record.

55.5kg on her back is enough to take her close in an even field.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (16:09) Wittens Irrigation & Design 1MW (1200m)

#3 – God Has Drifted

BET NOW

Coming off three consecutive wins is God Has Drifted, who scored twice at Albany before winning at Pinjarra last time out.

The five-year-old son of God Has Spoken owns six wins from 18 starts overall, and it’s tough to bet against a proven winner.

3kg comes off his back to help with the weight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (17:00) Peters Investments Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Snitzalatte

BET NOW

Shooting for three consecutive wins is Snitzalatte, who dug deep to win at short odds last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Snitzel keeps giving it her all, and with four wins from 11 starts at Ascot, she demands attention.

She has a big weight, but Holly Nottle takes 2kg off.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (17:35) MC Polytrack 1MW (1600m)

#9 – Arrangement

BET NOW

William Pike teams up with Arragement, who broke through for a win at Pinjarra before placing at Ascot last time out.

The three-year-old son of Wootton Bassett was a short margin behind Dark Looks, and we expect that form to hold up well.

54.5kg on his back should aide his chances.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (18:10) W.S. Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m)

#2 – Beatty @ $1.70

BET NOW

Beatty was a good thing beaten last start, and it was a mammoth effort just to get second after missing the jump.

The two-year-old colt is a good chance of bouncing back to winning form, having won his first three starts, and we’re not leaving him out.

He’s a good multi bet addition for Saturday’s racing.

Stake: 4 Units

Race 9. (18:45) City of Belmont BM66 (1400m)

#8 – Auto Cruise

BET NOW

Auto Cruise looked good in spring and summer after posting two wins and two second placings.

The four-year-old mare has yet to finish worse than second in three starts at Ascot, so everything points towards another win.

She should be ready to fire off a spell.

Stake: 2 Units
