We have expert betting tips for the Kingston Town Classic this Saturday at Ascot which features a quality field of 10 middle-distance thoroughbreds.
All the rage is Western Empire, who looks like the next big thing out of the Williams stable. He dominates markets, but it’s a high-quality field in Perth.
We have a runner-by-runner betting guide available for the Kingston Town Classic, which runs at 7:45 pm.

Kingston Town Classic Form Guide & Tips
1. Regal Power (Best Each Way – $6) Bet @ Sportsbet
Regal Power made good ground when running fourth last start and the big-race winner should go close.
His form this year hasn’t been as good as it was in 2020, but the six-year-old demands respect. He has been primed with a trial win at Lark Hill, which should have him ready to fire.
$6 is worth taking.
2. Trap for Fools ($61) Bet @ Sportsbet
The former Group 1 winner hasn’t been able to win for some time, but he has been running solid races.
He owns four consecutive placings, including one behind Tellem We’re Coming last time out. He has since won two trials, but as the betting suggests, he should struggle.
(3) Neufbosc ($51) Bet @ Sportsbet
He has shown Group 1-level form in the past, but he doesn’t seem interested in winning. The odds reflect as much.
4. Too Close the Sun ($35) Bet @ Sportsbet
Too Close the Sun got back to his best form when winning at Belmont three starts back, but it didn’t come at this level.
He isn’t the same horse he used to be, and with only one win from nine attempts at Ascot, we couldn’t make room for him.
5. Platoon ($91) Bet @ Sportsbet
Not firing on all cylinders this season and he’s another runner that bookmakers have let go. It would be a big upset to Platoon firing his best shot.
6. Notorious One ($23) Bet @ Sportsbet
A nice type in the making who finished fourth behind Western Empire in the Railway. There is nothing wrong with that form and he enters trifecta calculations again.
He owns seven wins from 16 starts and he’s good enough to cause an upset at the odds. He can’t be left out.
7. Western Empire (Best Bet – $1.40) Bet @ Sportsbet
The class act of the field after notching his seventh win from 12 starts in the Railway. The Williams-trained gelding was far too good for them and a repeat could be on the cards.
Barrier nine could make it tricky in the early stages, but William Pike will likely settle him back before picking a path in the straight.
$1.40 is short, but it’s reasonable considering his ability.
8. Dance Music ($41) Bet @ Sportsbet
An eight-time winner at Ascot, so that can’t be overlooked. She finished sixth in the Railway and she has room for improvement.
Include her in first four calculations at odds.
9. Kissonallforcheeks (Best Roughie – $15) Bet @ Sportsbet
Nothing wrong with her placing in the Railway Stakes. She went along the inside, which probably didn’t suit her much.
She should get a clean run from barrier four and we’re prepared to take the $15 available.
10. Searchin’ Roc’s ($9.50) Bet @ Sportsbet
A touch shorter in the betting than we expected. She is a smart filly in the making, but she’s racing against older Group 1 horses.
Include in multiples, but the $9.50 is too short.
