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.

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 There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the
