Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature races are the G3 W.A. Oaks for 3YO fillies (race 8) and the Melvista Stakes over 2200m (race 4).
Miss Conteki (Ascot Race 9 No. 11)
This four-year-old Eurozone mare trained by Simon Miller has four wins from five starts. At the end of last campaign she took over at the 150m and dashed away for a 1.48 length win over 1000m at Ascot on 13 May, then resumed from a 43 week spell for a 1.86 length win over 1000m at Ascot on 10 March where she had the best final 400m sectional of the meeting. She looks to be a special mare and should win again.

Each Way
Some Sort (Ascot Race 7 No. 1):
This four-year-old Snippetson gelding has four wins and two places from 10 starts. He struggled in two races in February 2020 and went for a 31 week spell then resumed with a 1.38 length win over 1100m at Kalgoorlie on 3 October. Following the one run he has been spelled for a further 23 weeks but won a recent trial and should run well enough first-up to be worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Kia Ora Star (Ascot Race 5 No. 1):
This seven-year-old Blackfriars gelding is the early favourite in this Graduation Handicap, One Metro Win over 1800m. He tried hard when 1.93 lengths 4th over 1600m at Ascot on 20 February, then ran on strongly for a 3.47 length win over 1675m at Bunbury on 11 March. That was his 4th win from 40 starts, and I think he will find it too hard to put together back-to-back wins.

Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race with Gibbons to steer. Best Bet Declichy Boulevard (Gosford Race 2 No. 8) Trials have been rock solid. Found open company too slick on debut but also had excuses on the day. Comes out of the right form race, finds Gibbons to ride and looks a major player in this suitable race. Hard to beat. Check odds

Key Comments The rail is in 3 metres. This track is ideal for horses that can sustain a long run to the line. The best bet has been subject to early market support and is coming off a strong 2nd placing. Best Bet Only Old Once (Pakenham Race 2 No. 8) Solid effort on debut when running 2nd and has been heavily tried to go one better in this. Allen rides from barrier 3 and there isn't much depth to this maiden. Expecting
