Caracapo (Ascot Race 7 No. 1)
This seven-year-old gelding has had 26 starts for nine wins and seven places and has won two of his six starts this campaign. He angled three wide on the turn and finished runner-up to Flirtini in the Listed Miss Andretti Stakes over 1100m at Ascot on 16 January, before being swamped late for 1.14 lengths 4th in the Listed Scenic Blast Stakes over 1200m at Ascot on 30 January. With seven wins at this track and distance combination he will race on the race and should be there at the finish.

Each Way
Time To Sizzle (Ascot Race 9 No. 6):
This four-year-old mare trained by Martin Allan has six wins and two places from 11 starts, and five of her wins were at this track. She won by 0.31 length over 1000m at Ascot on 30 Janaury, then was tiring late but held on for a 0.77 length win after leading all the way over 1000m at Ascot on 30 January. She has drawn very wide but is still good enough to place here.

Western Empire (Ascot Race 8 No. 6):
This three-year-old gelding trained by Grant and Alana Williams is the early favourite in the WATC Challenge Stakes for 3YOs over 1500m. He ran 1.32, 0.12 lengths 3rd in the Listed Sir Ernest Lee-Steere Classic over 1400m at Ascot on 5 December, then after an 8 week break he broke his maiden with a 2.19 length win over 1100m at Bunbury on 31 January. He is a nice horse but is under the odds in this race.

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on earlier in the day and has been brilliant in its trials. Confident on its chances at what is still a back-able price. Best Bet Night People (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 4) Has been superb in trials and looks very hard to beat here fresh. Newitt steers so expecting some front running tactics and showed plenty in the tank in a most recent trial when hitting the front early. Likeable odds and expecting

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a

Key Comments The rail is true. The 10 race card shapes up to be a good one. The best bet comes up in the third and has very good claims fresh off a break and has been trialling well. Best Bet Unusual Legacy (Rosehill Race 3 No. 9) Went in leaps and bounds last prep including not having a race to suit at Canterbury at the end of the prep and still flying to the line to win. May need the run but
