Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature races are the Ascot 1000 Guineas for 3YO fillies (race 7) and the Lex Piper Stakes (race 5).
Tambora (Ascot Race 6 No. 6)
This three-year-old gelding from the Darren McAuliffe stable has two wins and a place from three starts. He led but faded a little in the final 150m for 2.05 lengths 2nd over 1600m at Ascot on 9 January, then led all the way and hung on for a 0.58 length win over 1400m at Bunbury on 11 February. He drops 5kg from his last run and has the ability to win again.

Indigo Blue (Ascot Race 7 No. 2):
This three-year-old Blackfriars filly has one wins and three places from seven starts, and has shown staying potential. She was a very close 2nd in the Group 3 WA Champion Fillies Stakes over 1600m at Ascot on 14 November before a 12 week spell, then resumed for 3.22 lengths 10th over 1300m at Pinjarra Park on 6 February. She won at Belmont in her only previous second-up attempt and looks a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Tommy Blue (Ascot Race 8 No. 3):
This four-year-old Gingerbread Man mare has two wins and five places from 12 starts and is the early favourite in this One Metro Win handicap over 1400m. She just battled to the line for 2.8 lengths 6th over 1200m at Pinjarra, then boxed on for 1.68 lengths 4th over 1200m at Ascot on 13 February. I don’t think the 1400m will suit and am prepared to risk her here.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 25th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. Ashley Morgan rides the best and next best of the day. Expecting the track to play fair. Currently a Soft 6 at time of writing. Best Bet Just Joan (Bathurst Race 1 No. 9) She can land up on speed and prove hard to run down from the good draw. Maps to get favours from there and looks the right price at the $3.00 mark. Morgan steers and this race suits. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the first of the day and is well and truly overdue for a win.
