Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Son Son (Ascot Race 3 No. 1)
This three-year-old Rogano gelding trained by Adam Durrant has three wins and three places from six starts. When resuming from a 19 week spell he controlled the race in front and won by two lengths over 1200m at Ascot on 21 April, then was leading but was overhauled late for 1.29 lengths 2nd over 1100m at Ascot on a heavy track on 5 May. Should win here provided the track is not too heavy.

Each Way
Rock Magic (Ascot Race 8 No. 1):
This 11 year old gelding has raced at Group level at his last eight races and has placed in four of them. At the end of last campaign he finished 0.31, 1.1 lengths 3rd in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes over 1200m at Ascot on 28 November, then resumed for 1.05 length 2nd in the Group 3 Northam Stakes over 1100m at Northam on 2 May. He goes well at this track and has won the Roma Cup twice before when he was younger – in 2017 and 2018. He looks a good each way bet in the race again.

That’s Funny Az (Ascot Race 4 No. 1):
This four-year-old Snippetson gelding is the early favourite in this RTG 74+ Handicap over 1600m. He has won four of his six starts this campaign, winning by a narrow margin over 1600m at Ascot on 10 April, then running 1.86 lengths 4th over 1800m at Ascot on 24 April. He is getting up in the weights, even with a 2kg claim and does not offer value in this race.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The track is the heavy 10 range. The best bet was scratched from last weeks meeting and saved for this time around. Looks well placed at good odds. Best Bet Emilia Jane (Warwick Farm Race 2 No. 1) A lot to like about the trials. Concede a heavy 10 track on debut always casts some doubt in the mind but banking on the stables decision to let it go around ( if they do ). Trials have

Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres. The track is in the good range. The best bet comes up earlier in the day and didn't have much luck last run. Best Bet Lady Di Di (Sandown Race 2 No. 6) Rock solid effort last start from this 4yo Mare who had no luck but still hit the line well behind Fasuto. That form should hold strong for this kind of race and expect it should get every chance from barrier 5. Open

Key Comments The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race. The track is heavy so keep an eye on conditions. Best Bet Hold (Goulburn Race 2 No. 4) The best bet comes up in the second race. Likeable first up win and handles the wet conditions which is a big tick here. Taking on the favourite who had 3 goes in the heavy for no placings. Not much between them in the market. Check

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on the first of the day and looks well placed to notch up its maiden win. Best Bet Superior Zara (Benalla Race 1 No. 8) Hard to beat resuming and the market should tell the story late. This 3yo Filly strikes the ideal race to break through and brings a strong ratings profile in comparison to the field. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
