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.

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.

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 Small 7 race card. The best bet is in the last. Expecting those on speed to be suited with the rail true. Best Bet Saiko (Moruya Race 7 No. 2) Can be hard to catch but ticks boxes here. Maps well, goes well at the trip and gets conditions to suit. Doesn't win out of turn but same could be said for most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Halkis (Moruya Race 2 No. 4) Has been around the mark both runs this prep. Weighted very well after the claim and any luck from the draw will be very hard to beat.

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
