Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature event is the Scenic Blast Stakes over 1200m (race 7).
Prince Devoutly (Ascot Race 6 No. 7)
This five-year-old gelding trained by Grant and Alana Williams has had six starts for three wins and two places. He wound up steadily for a 0.48 length win over 1000m at Northam on 30 September 2019 to bring up three wins in a row, then was off the track for 67 weeks. Resuming he was over-racing before running on strongly for 1.39 lengths 6th over 1000m at Ascot on 16 January where he had the best final 400m of the meeting. He has drawn the inside barrier and should be right in the finish.

Our Danni (Ascot Race 3 No. 4):
This three-year-old All American filly has three wins and four places from 14 starts. She ran on strongly to take the lead at the 200m and score a 3.14 length win over 1000m at Ascot on 23 December, then took over at the 200m and held on for a 0.13 length win over 1100m at Ascot on 2 January. She is definitely worth an each-way bet.

Amelia’s Chant (Ascot Race 2 No. 8):
This two-year-old War Chant filly is the early favourite in this 2YO Plate over 1100m. She has only had one start where she was sent out as favourite and joined the lead at the turn but tired late to finish 2.32 lengths 5th over 1100m at Ascot on 16 January. She will benefit from the experience but is no sure thing and others represent better value.

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
