Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The main race is the Group 3 Northerly Stakes.
Notorious One (Ascot Race 4 No. 8)
This five-year-old Animal Kingdom gelding has only had two starts, but has won them both. He had the best closing 400m of the meeting when he won by 2.68 lengths over 1300m at Belmont on 16 September, then he went straight to a class 3 which he won by 0.29 length over 1400m at Belmont on 28 September. He looks to have a bright future and is my pick here.

Each Way
Massimo (Ascot Race 8 No. 6):
This four-year-old Sessions gelding has eight wins and seven places from 18 starts. He won by 1.11 lengths over 1650m at Belmont on 22 August, then won the Listed Farnley Stakes by 1.66 lengths over 1400m at Belmont on 12 September. He has 3 wins and 2 places from 7 starts at Ascot and at the current price he looks a great each-way bet.

Best Lay
Rewrite The Stars (Ascot Race 2 No. 2):
This four-year-old mare is the early favourite in this no metropolitan wins handicap over 1200m. She wound up gamely to win in the last few strides over 1200m at Pimjarra Park on 9 July, then finished 6.76 lengths 9th over 1200m at Belmont on 1 August. She has had an 11 week let-up but has not won at Ascot before and does not represent value.

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +2 metres from the 1400m to 1200m,+2 metres from the 800m to 400m and true for the remainder. This is the same as the last meeting on 18th August. Best Bet Reciprocal (Bordertown Race 3 No. 10) Resumed to finish midfield at Murray Bridge when fresh coming from the back of the field. Clearly looking for longer than the 1000m and looks well-suited by the 1200m here. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The track is in the good range. Plenty of features including the Exford Plate (race 2), Cap D'antibes Stakes (race 3), Poseidon Stakes (race 4), Archer Stakes (race 5), Vale Black Caviar Stakes (race 6), Let's Elope Stakes (race 7), Makybe Diva (race 8) and Bobbie Lewis Quality (race 9). Best Bet Growing Empire (Flemington Race 4 No. 1) Very promising runner who won with ease last start and looks suited to this field. Maps for a good run in transit

Key Comments 8 race card taking place. The track is in the soft range. Multiple well priced short favourites take place on this card. The best bet comes up later in the day and brings undeniable claims to what is a solid maiden field. Best Bet November Air (Goulburn Race 7 No. 10) Brings in some really strong form to this deep maiden. Draw makes things tricky but can land on the speed and Collett is booked which is ideal. Should give this

Key Comments 8 races in the card. The track is in the good 4 range. Plenty of quality jockeys riding in the meeting. Best Bet Late Arrival (Geelong Race 8 No. 9) Scored last start by a narrow margin but showed a good turn of foot in doing so and can handle the rise in grade in what is a race lacking depth. Maps well and has more upside than most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
