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.

Each Way
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.

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch. Walters steers from the good draw and she is 3 rides aboard for 2 seconds. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Bubble Palace (Horsham Race 6 No. 5) Should

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes.

Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start.
