Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature race is the Detonator Stakes over 1800m (race 8).
Resortman (Ascot Race 6 No. 4)
This four-year-old Helmet gelding has five wins and three places from 11 starts, and goes well at Ascot. He led narrowly but was outmuscled in the final 100m for 0.88, 0.21 length 3rd over 1230m at Albany on 10 January, then was tiring late but held on for a narrow win over 1200m at Pinjarra Park on 6 February. He is nice and fit and should win again.
$2.70
Each Way
Baramagic (Ascot Race 7 No. 3):
This five-year-old Blackfriars gelding has four wins and six places from 25 starts, and has been going well in similar races. He peaked in the final 100m to finish 1.72 lengths 5th over 2200m at Ascot on 16 January, then took over at the 1200m and kept working for a 0.54 length win over 2000m at Pinjarra Park on 6 February. He drops 1kg from that run and looks a nice each-way bet.
$7.50
Best Lay
Charleton Ediie (Ascot Race 2 No. 1):
This three-year-old Shooting To Win gelding has four wins and three places from eight starts and is the early favourite in this 3YO handicap over 1000m. He finished 0.8 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Ascot on 31 October, then ran 1.27 lengths 2nd in the Listed Placid Ark Stakes over 1200m at Ascot on 21 November. Resuming from a 13 week break he has not won first-up before and the price looks too short.

Key Comments The track is rated heavy and the rail is +0.5 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Rimbaud (Doomben Race 4 No. 1) Resumed from a spell with a win over 1200m at Sunshine Coast then was 2nd to Ser Joh at Eagle Farm last start.

Key Comments The feature races include the Wellington Showcase Cup (race 6) and the Wellington Boot (race 7). The best bet comes up in the last at healthy odds. Best Bet Man From Brussells (Wellington Race 8 No. 5) Could surprise these at odds. Proven in this grade, drawn well and has the race fitness over its dangers.

Key Comments An 8 race program takes place. The track is in the soft range. The best bet bumped into a handy one last time out and is big odds. Best Bet Suppose I Do (Sale Race 6 No. 6) Bumped into Big Swinger last time out who is destined for some good races. Saves its best racing for this track having made the placings at all 3 attempts and is drawn well for this. Analyst: Bryce Parker
