Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Spritely Star (Ascot Race 5 No. 11)
This three-year-old filly has only had two race starts but has notched up a win and a place. She debuted for 1.86 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Pinjarra Park on 6 January where she wound up steadily, then she ran on strongly for a 0.38 length win over 1413m at Pinjarra Park on 21 January. Her final 400m sectionals were good in both runs and she looks well-placed here.

Each Way
King’s Authority (Ascot Race 8 No. 2):
This six-year-old Snitzel gelding has raced 43 times and although he has only won twice he has placed 19 times, including at his last three starts. He ran on strongly six wide down the straight for 0.41 length 2nd over 1100m at Esperance on 2 January, then he looked the winner but was picked off late for 0.68 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Ascot on 20 January. Looks a good each-way chance here.

Best Lay
My Hidden Journey (Ascot Race 2 No. 1):
This four-year-old Good Journey gelding is the early favourite in this 2YO & Up Maiden over 1200m. He ran on strongly for 0.96 length 2nd in a Belmont maiden over 1200m on 2 September, then was disappointing when 4.76 lengths 10th in Belmont maiden over 1300m on 19 September and was sent for a spell. Resuming after 20 weeks he has not even placed in three previous first-up starts and I’m willing to risk him.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet lobs in the first and is ready to win. Should get every hope from the kind draw. Best Bet Buy Me A Birkin (Coonabarabran Race 1 No. 6) Hasn't missed the placings this prep from 3 goes and won't get a better chance to win than this.

Key Comments Very keen on the chances of the best bet who should relish getting off heavy ground and looks well placed racing back on its home track. Best Bet Zaragoza (Kembla Grange Race 7 No. 2) Surprised it isn't favourite. Enormous win 2 runs back beating a smart one on this track. Found the going too tough fresh but but bumped into a handy field including The Black Cloud who has won convincingly up in grade since. Tough draw but has the

Key Comments The feature is the $50,000 Metric Mile over 1600m (race 7). The track is sand and is rated good and the weather is fine. Best Bet Miss Polly (Darwin Race 1 No. 6) She came from the outside barrier to be runner-up on debut over 1200m here. Emma Lines rides again and has a 1.5 kg claim, and this time she has draw the rails. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
