Ascot tips and results

Our price $3.40 · SP $2.45 · Joey Azzopardi

My Jimmy is the form horse. He won at Ascot a week ago from the back of the field and has taken two of his last three. He draws the rail, which suits at this track, and he is well suited by the dry track. The 59kg and the step up to 1600m are the concerns, as is a likely slow tempo.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Chanel Cooper

Sandfire Rose looks the best-placed runner on the speed map. She should lead unchallenged in a slow-run 1600m, which is the race shape that wins here. She has won her last two from the front and has the rider that suits her.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Zephen Johnston-Porter

On pure map he is the one to beat. A lone leader in a slowly-run mile at a track that rewards speed can dictate terms and sprint home.

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.50 · Holly Watson

A tough, consistent veteran who gets an ideal draw and a significant weight cut. He will sit just behind the leader in a slow race, and earlier mile runs show he is competitive at this level. His age and a quick backup make him a place-first proposition.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.50 · Jefferson Tsang

Let's Talk is a classy sprinter who loves 1000m and is in peak form after a gutsy win last start. Should settle in the first three behind Hezangelic, which is the right position at Ascot. A light weight and claiming rider help his case.

Our price $10.00 · SP $17.00 · Natika Riordan

In a fast-run sprint she should get a handy spot and run on.

Our price $9.00 · SP $21.00 · Jefferson Tsang

The only horse with a genuine leading record in a race forecast to be run at a moderate pace, and on-pace runners hold the edge at Ascot. He won over 1400m easily from the front last time and carries a light weight.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.00 · Laqdar Ramoly

A consistent mare who has placed at every start on Good and has a strong record at Ascot. She ran on well first-up over this trip and is primed to improve second-up.

Our price $3.40 · SP $1.85 · Holly Nottle

Our price $9.50 · SP $12.00 · Steven Parnham

The only true leader and should get an easy time in front in a race that looks likely to be slow. He has been competitive against better, and the soft lead at Ascot is a real asset.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.50 · Clint Johnston-Porter

His last-start loss was on Soft ground, which he has never handled. Jockey and horse have a strong record together. He is a risk if the pace is slow, but he should finish well from midfield-to-back.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.00 · Austin Galati

Desert Waves has the pace to lead and has won at Ascot over 1400m before. The barrier is the problem, as 13 is a long way out and he may burn energy to hold the front. He was well beaten last start and his form has slipped.

Our price $3.60 · SP $4.40 · Jarrad Noske

She should dominate the early stages from barrier 6 and control the race, which is a strong edge at Ascot. She is second up and in good order. The risk is that she tends to be run down late and lays out under pressure, as at her last two starts.

Our price $7.50 · SP $13.00 · Clint Johnston-Porter

A proven Listed performer, placed in 17 of 24 starts, who ran a very strong time over this trip at Ascot in April. She should settle in the first few, which the track favours.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Jason Lyon

A seasoned Group 3 performer who won three in a row in autumn and has a good record at Ascot. He ran to a winning standard in several of those wins. Barrier 11 and top weight are against him, but he can settle handy rather than being forced to the back.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.00 · Brad Parnham

A proven Ascot Group performer who gets the ideal draw and a big drop in class. The heart irregularity found after his last run in March is a worry, but his trials since have been encouraging and he should be sitting just off the pace in an inside position.

Our price $10.00 · SP $13.00 · Steven Parnham

A lightly raced four-year-old who won a Listed over 1400m by a nose and has finished fast in his runs. A genuine overlay.

Our price $8.50 · SP $15.00 · Brad Parnham

A solid, honest type who should be placed in the first half of the field from a handy barrier and is second-up with a good record at that stage. He is not spectacular, but his course experience and the likely fast tempo should see him in the finish.

Our price $11.00 · SP $20.00 · Joey Azzopardi

A class-dropper from a stable that does well at Ascot, with wins at the track in the past. He has had throat surgery since his last race and trialled soundly, so he should be fit and sharper.
