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.

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 This track typically suits runners who can sustain a long run in the straight. The best bet comes up in the first and has very strong form for its race. Best Bet Miss Judas (Kembla Grange Race 1 No. 1) Ready to win and drops back from town for this. Form has been strong for this field and looks primed to take this out. The odds appeal and the map looks ideal. Analyst: Bryce Parker
