Ascot horse racing tips
—
All on Red is unbeaten after two starts, and we’re backing him to remain unbeaten on Saturday.
The two-year-old colt by Doubtland won both starts at Ascot, and he has plenty of upside as a colt. Therefore, we’re happy to include him in picks.
Getting 3kg off his back should be enough to see him go close.
Stake: 2 Units
Westbound couldn’t have been more impressive when winning on debut at Geraldton, and that form is good for this race.
The three-year-old gelding won by 3.5 lengths as a $2.10 favourite, and punters should get better odds for this run.
He’s in good hands, so back with confidence.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Royal Law won well fresh up before running some good placings at Kalgoorlie and last time out at Ascot.
Something close to his last start should be enough to get the job done on Saturday, and dropping from 59kg to 56kg is ideal.
He won with Holly Nottle in the saddle at their only attempt, which adds to his appeal.
Stake: 1 Unit
Looking to cap off four consecutive second placings with a win is Gold Maker, who looks well-placed to score an overdue win.
The four-year-old son of Universal Ruler has yet to win at Ascot in seven attempts, but that could all change on Saturday.
His turn-of-foot is impressive, so he’s worth having an each-way bet.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Treble Maker is a four-time winner from 10 starts, and although she has come up short at Ascot in two attempts, she is good enough to turn that form.
Her win at Kalgoorlie fresh up was impressive, and she should derive plenty of confidence from that outing.
Barrier 14 makes it harder but look for her to settle back and come with a big late run.
Stake: 1 Unit
Essentric Nature comes off three consecutive wins at Belmont and Ascot, and we’re sticking with the form runner of the race.
The five-year-old son of Savabeel is a two-time winner at Ascot, and having William Pike in the saddle only helps his chances.
We expect him to be fighting out the finish once again.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Looking to preserve an unbeaten record is King of Light, who pulled out all the stops when winning at Ascot last time out.
The three-year-old gelding Earthlight could have a very bright future, and it’s another good ride for Pike, who could have a big day.
Getting the inside draw is another positive, so he’s the clear top pick.
Stake: 3 Units
Class is with Magnificent Andy, who owns 11 wins and 14 placings, and punters get value odds.
The Simon Miller-trained gelding loves racing at Ascot, and although Western Empire won’t be easy to beat, the better value is elsewhere.
Look for the $7.50 odds to firm slightly on race day.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Sensessional kicked off this prep with consecutive wins at Pinjarra and Belmont, and it’s solid form for this stakes race.
It’s not the best Luckygray Stakes field we’ve ever seen, and the five-year-old son of Sessions could take advantage at value odds.
Brad Parnham is an experienced jockey, adding to our confidence.
Stake: 1 Unit
Correct Choice wasn’t far away when running second at Ascot, and a repeat of that effort should be good enough for this race.
The five-year-old son of So You Think gets a valuable 3kg off his back, and that’s all he needs to win again.
He loves racing at Ascot as a two-time winner, so include him in picks.
Stake: 1.5 Units
