Ascot horse racing tips
—
Dawn Dancer comes off a trial win at Lark Hill, and he could hit the ground running on Saturday.
The two-year-old son of Headwater has the breeding to win races early in his career, and this is an open field.
Look for a betting push on race day.
Stake: 1 Unit
Seeking back-to-back wins is Exquisite Taste, who scored by a half-length at Bunbury.
The four-year-old son of So You Think is bred to handle the rise in distance, and he should only be stronger with the win under his belt.
He gets the inside draw and every chance to win.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Consistency is with Antique Star, who owns a win and two placings from her last three starts this preparation.
The Michael Grantham-trained mare owns three wins and six placings overall, so we’re happy to include her in our picks again.
Getting 3kg off her back is enough to take her close.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Looking to make a winning return is Mohegan Ruler, who needs to turn his form around after three poor efforts.
The four-year-old gets the services of William Pike in the saddle, which is ideal, and his debut win is too good to overlook.
We’re happy to give him one more chance.
Stake: 1 Unit
Kay Tee Why has yet to finish worse than third after posting three wins and three placings, which is an excellent form guide.
The Adam Durrant-trained gelding is a two-time winner at Ascot, so there’s nothing to suggest why he won’t run a good race.
We expect shortening odds on race day.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Great Emotion is fitter after two runs under her belt this preparation, and she didn’t have all favours behind runners last time out.
The four-year-old mare by Written Tycoon is better than that and getting the inside draw with a light weight takes her close here.
We’re hoping for each-way odds.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Old Mate Henry capped off consistent form with a win at Bunbury, and he’s capable of stringing wins together.
The four-year-old son of My Admiration has yet to finish outside the placings, and that consistency is tough to overlook at Ascot.
He’s good enough to win again, especially with Pike riding.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Twisted Steel won both starts during his first preparation, including wins at Northam and Bunbury.
The Simon Miller-trained gelding won on debut by four lengths before handling a heavy surface, so the form checks out.
Pike rides, and we’re not surprised by the shortening odds.
Stake: 3 Units
The son of So You Think is in for a big campaign after beating Storyville last time out at Pinjarra, which was his third consecutive win from as many starts.
The talented type has the Belmont Guineas on his record, and he should be awfully tough to beat at BM78 level.
Look for a strong betting push on race day.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Looking to improve on a fresh up fifth is Deel Her In, who owns two wins and a placing from five career starts.
The four-year-old mare by Dundeel is bred to enjoy a few runs under her belt, and she could be tough to catch.
We expect each-way odds in an even betting field.
Stake: 1 Unit
