Ascot tips and results

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.80 · Steven Parnham

Saturday Sesh brings winning form with three consecutive victories and a perfect record at the 1400m distance. Drawing barrier 1, he's likely to lead and try to control the race from the front. The main concerns are the top weight of 60kg and potential pressure up front in what's predicted to be a fast-tempo race.

Our price $9.00 · SP $15.00 · Alex Hearn

He drops significantly in class from his last start where he ran 8th in Open company at Belmont Park. Prior to that, he ran 2nd in similar company to today. His lightweight of 54.5kg is advantageous, and he should be suited by the predicted fast tempo.

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.80 · Zephen Johnston-Porter

Pin Deep brings excellent credentials with a perfect record at this distance and strong recent form including a last-start win at Northam. While the 61kg is a concern, he's proven he can carry weight effectively and should get an ideal run from barrier 4. The Zephen Johnston-Porter/Durrant combination is firing, and this gelding has the class to overcome the weight.

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.70 · Lucy F Fiore

Magali Magic brings excellent recent form including a win two starts back and a close second last start. She'll get the perfect run from barrier 1 and is well-weighted with 55.5kg. Her record at the distance is good (2:1-0-0), and the Lucy Fiore/T M Wolfe combination is in form.

Our price $12.00 · SP $19.00 · Holly Watson

While her last-start performance was poor, she's capable of bouncing back with Holly Watson aboard and a manageable weight of 55.5kg.

Our price $2.60 · SP $3.10 · William Pike

Moonwalk brings the strongest combination of recent form and upside potential. The Williams stable excels with progressive types, and the booking of William Pike is significant. Second-up from a spell with a low weight and good barrier, she's perfectly positioned to handle this class rise.

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.20 · Chris Parnham

Despite a disappointing 9th last start, her previous win at Belmont Park showed her ability. The Fernie stable is in good form, and the inside barrier should allow Chris Parnham to position her ideally in the expected fast tempo. Her proven ability on good tracks is a significant advantage.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.50 · William Pike

The engagement of William Pike is significant, and his record at the distance is solid. While first-up today, his second-up record suggests he'll improve sharply next start, making him an each-way proposition today with strong place claims.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.50 · Shaun Mc Gruddy

Well-drawn in barrier 2 to secure a good position in the expected fast tempo, he has a solid record at the mile (11: 2-2-1) and should be perfectly suited by today's conditions. The S.J. Wolfe-trained gelding appears ready to peak third-up from a spell.

Our price $6.00 · SP $12.00 · Brad Parnham

The D.T. McAuliffe-trained gelding has been racing in stronger company in previous preparations and gets in well at the weights with 58kg. While untested at the mile at Ascot, his tactical speed and good barrier draw should allow him to secure a favorable position. The quick back-up suggests he's thriving.

Our price $4.20 · SP $6.50 · Zephen Johnston-Porter

Twilight Tale brings a strong record at both track and distance, with impressive consistency throughout her career (2-2-1 from 8 starts). While she's stepping up in class, the 55.5kg weight is a significant advantage. Her last run was 27 days ago, but she's shown versatility in her racing pattern and has a good record at Ascot. Represents solid each-way value.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.20 · Holly Watson

His last preparation showed consistent form with back-to-back wins before a close second when last seen. The Mitchell Pateman-trained gelding handles good tracks well and gets in with a lightweight. The gear changes are the main query, but his raw ability makes him a genuine threat.

Our price $9.00 · SP $19.00 · Chanel Cooper

Now with the Williams stable and first-up after being gelded, the significant gear changes suggest they're expecting a forward showing. While the 461-day break is a concern, his first-up record (1-0-1 from 3 starts) offers some encouragement.

Our price $4.20 · SP $4.00 · Brad Parnham

Five-year-old mare with an exceptional overall record (9 wins from 16 starts) and outstanding track/distance credentials (5 wins from 9 at Ascot over 1200m). Second-up today with a strong record in that pattern (2 wins from 3 second-up starts). Recent fourth at Kalgoorlie was a solid effort and she should improve significantly. Brad Parnham takes the ride and she's proven adaptable to various race patterns. The very fast predicted tempo should suit her finishing style.

Our price $6.00 · SP $16.00 · William Pike

Four-year-old mare resuming with excellent fresh credentials (2 wins from 3 first-up starts). The gear changes (ear muffs off, lugging bit off, nose roll off) suggest trainer is focusing on her speed attributes. William Pike sticking with her is a significant positive, and her overall profile suggests she's still improving. Will be suited by the very fast tempo.

Our price $9.00 · SP $12.00 · Clint Johnston-Porter

Dropping in class from Group racing, which is a significant positive. Versatile racing style should allow him to adapt to any tempo, though the very fast predicted pace should suit his finishing style. Has a reasonable fresh record (1 win from 5 first-up starts) and gets the services of Clint Johnston-Porter.

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.40 · Brad Parnham

Magnificent Andy brings proven class credentials with excellent track/distance stats (3-3-3 from 10). Second-up specialist who won impressively first-up at Kalgoorlie. The top weight is a concern, but his class and consistency make him a major player.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.50 · Chris Parnham

Bonjoy brings an exceptional win rate (58%) and strong Ascot record (7-1-1 from 11). Gets in well at the weights with 55.5kg and has Chris Parnham aboard. The wide barrier is a concern, but her finishing burst and weight advantage make her a genuine chance in this Group 3 contest.

Our price $10.00 · SP $41.00 · Damien Boutet

Soldanelle brings strong recent form into this race, finishing a close second over this track and distance last start. She gets in with a light weight and should be suited by the anticipated fast tempo.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.80 · Shaun Mc Gruddy

Brave Spirit draws the inside gate which should allow him to utilize his early speed and take up a forward position. His record at 1400m is solid with 2 wins and 1 second from 6 attempts. While his last start was disappointing, he typically improves second-up and has shown ability at this level previously. The barrier advantage gives him strong place claims.
