Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature races are the G3 Gimcrack Stakes for 2YO fillies (race 8), Perth Stakes for 2YO C&Gs and the Grandstand Cup over 1500m (race 6).
Magical Dream (Ascot Race 2 No. 1)
This three-year-old filly trained by Grant and Alana Williams has four wins and two places from seven starts. She resumed after 9 weeks with a 1.03 length win over 1200m at Ascot on 16 January where she had good final 400m sectionals, then she finished 1.75 lengths 2nd in the Western Australian Breeders’ Classic over 1400m at Bunbury on 6 March. This is an easier race, and with the 2kg claim for apprentice Laqdar Ramoly she should return to the winners circle.

What About Moses (Ascot Race 5 No. 10):
This five-year-old Playing God gelding has won three of eight starts this campaign and has a great record at this track. He took over at the 200m and held on for a 0.17 length win over 1600m at Ascot on 20 February, then kept coming after a tough run for 2 lengths 4th over 1400m at Bunbury on 6 March. He looks a great each-way bet back at Ascot.

Rivalry Galore (Ascot Race 9 No. 6):
This five-year-old Trade Fair gelding is the early favourite in this BM 66+ Handicap over 2200m. He tried hard when 0.26, 0.28 lengths 3rd over 1800m at Ascot on 27 February, then kept coming steadily when 2.13 lengths 4th over 2000m at Bunbury on 6 March. In nine previous outings to Ascot he has only ran one place so I don’t expect him to win here.

Key Comments The sand track is rated Good and the weather is fine. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Miracoli (Alice Springs Race 5 No. 7) Miracoli was a 5.3 length winer at this track and distance last start. Should race on the speed and be hard to beat.

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight. Best Bet Seydoux (Devonport Synthetic Race 5 No. 2) She led all the
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and was explosive on debut. Expecting all to have their chance on this track that usually plays fair. Best Bet What A Cross (Sale Race 1 No. 10) Big finale on debut and looms at likeable odds here. Was smacked in betting then and almost pulled off the plunge when flying to the line. Looks a huge chance here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
