Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Truly Great (Ascot Race 4 No. 10)
This five-year-old Dundeel gelding has three win and two places from seven starts. He finished 2 lengths 2nd over 1600m at Belmont on soft going on 18 July before a 2.55 length win over 2200m at Belmont on 25 July. His wins are at 1100m, 1400m and 2200m so he is very versatile. He hasn’t raced for 11 weeks but has had two trials in September for a close 2nd and a win by almost 4 lengths. Should be winning.

Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
