Ascot tips and results

Our price $12.00 · SP $19.00 · Amy Jo Hayes

Gets in with just 51kg and has drawn ideally in barrier 4, which should allow her to secure a good position.

Our price $4.80 · SP $4.40 · Jefferson Tsang

While untested at 2200m and facing a class rise, his progressive profile suggests further improvement is likely.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · William Pike

Four-year-old mare second-up from a spell with a strong record when second-up (1-1-0 from 2 starts). Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 which should allow Pike to position her ideally in the very fast tempo. Her recent 4th placing at this track and class was solid, and she's won 3 from 9 overall showing she knows how to find the line. The step back to 1200m suits.

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.40 · Austin Galati

Six-year-old gelding coming off an excellent 2nd placing at this track and class two weeks ago. Has a solid record on soft tracks (1-2-2 from 7 starts) and should handle today's conditions. Drawn midfield but has tactical speed to position well in the fast-tempo race. Consistent performer who rarely runs poorly.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Zephen Johnston-Porter

Five-year-old gelding with strong credentials including an excellent record at the distance (2-2-0 from 6 starts). Has performed well at this track previously (1-1-1 from 8 starts) and handles soft tracks (3-1-0 from 5 starts). Drawn well in barrier 4 which should allow him to settle in a good position despite the fast tempo. Class runner who can bounce back from recent moderate performances.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Jason Whiting

Four-year-old gelding with remarkably consistent form, finishing 2nd in four of his last five starts. Has an excellent place record (7 seconds from 19 starts) and handles soft tracks well (0-4-2 from 7 starts). The wide barrier is a concern but the fast tempo should allow him to find a position with cover.

Our price $4.50 · SP $7.50 · William Pike

Talented gelding resuming from a spell with an excellent first-up record of 4:2-0-0. The engagement of William Pike is significant, and he should get a good run from barrier 9. While unproven on soft tracks, his class and first-up prowess make him a major player. The Simon Miller stable is in good form.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.00 · Lucy F Fiore

Mare with an excellent second-up record (2:2-0-0) coming off an impressive win at Kalgoorlie. Has a strong record at this distance (6:2-2-0) and handles soft tracks well (2:1-0-0). The wide barrier is a concern, but her tactical speed should allow her to overcome it. Lucy Fiore knows the horse well and should give her every chance.

Our price $2.40 · SP $2.30 · William Pike

Progressive gelding who has been dominant this preparation with three consecutive wins. While this represents a class rise, his overall profile suggests he has the ability to handle it, and his tactical versatility will be valuable in what should be a fast-tempo race.

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.90 · Chris Parnham

Consistent gelding with an excellent record of 8:4-2-2. Has been in superb form this preparation with two wins and a second from his last three starts. Drawn barrier 6 which gives options in a race with expected fast tempo, and has the class to be right in the finish.

Our price $10.00 · SP $26.00 · Brandon Louis

Impressive last-start winner who has been racing consistently this preparation. While drawn wide in barrier 12, he has shown tactical versatility and should get a nice run in midfield with cover. His record on soft tracks (8:2-2-2) is a plus if conditions deteriorate, and he carries just 55kg. The class rise is a concern, but his recent form suggests he's up to the challenge.

Our price $8.00 · SP $14.00 · Lucy F Fiore

Consistent gelding who has been racing in excellent form with placings at his last two starts. His record at 1200m is strong (9: 2-3-1), and he handles soft tracks well (5:2-2-1) which could be advantageous if conditions deteriorate. While drawn wide in barrier 11, he has tactical speed to overcome this.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.50 · Laqdar Ramoly

He's proven at both track and distance with a record of 1 win from 2 starts at Ascot over 1400m. Well-drawn in barrier 3 and proven on Good tracks, he should get a nice run midfield and be finishing strongly. The significant class rise is the main concern.

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.90 · William Pike

While first-up from a spell (8: 1-1-2), he's a proven Group performer who handles this track/distance combination superbly (4: 2-1-1). The wide barrier is a concern, but with Pike aboard and his class edge, he should be finishing strongly despite the top weight.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Brad Parnham

With a strong track record of 20: 4-5-3 and recent form reading 3342x4222x15, he's a proven performer at this level. The combination with B Parnham is successful, and he's well-drawn in barrier 7. The expected fast tempo should allow him to settle midfield and use his strong finishing burst.

Our price $6.00 · SP $10.00 · Lucy F Fiore

His fresh record is solid with 1-1-1 from 5 first-up attempts, and his Ascot record is impressive with 4-2-1 from 9 starts. Specifically at this track and distance, he boasts 1-2-0 from 3 attempts. The Brandon Fiore-trained gelding has a high win strike rate of 25% and gets in well at the weights with 54.5kg. The fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.

Our price $4.00 · SP $41.00 · Chanel Cooper

Reliable performer with exceptional Ascot credentials. While not a specialist at 1400m, his consistency and on-pace running style make him well-suited to this contest. The inside draw is advantageous given current track bias, and he should be able to position prominently from barrier 3. Solid each-way proposition.

Our price $5.50 · SP $151.00 · Chloe Azzopardi

Consistent mare who has been racing in good form. While yet to win at 1400m, she has placed at the trip and should appreciate the step up in distance. The inside draw is advantageous, and her versatile running style gives options. Should get every chance from barrier 4 and is capable of figuring in the finish.

Our price $9.00 · SP $13.00 · Amy Jo Hayes

Has a strong record at 1400m and is well-weighted with 56kg. The inside draw is advantageous, and his on-pace running style should suit the track pattern. While stepping up in class, he's shown enough to suggest he can be competitive at this level and offers significant value.
