Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Sheza Chalmer (Ascot Race 1 No. 4)
This three-year-old filly has started four times for two wins and two 2nds. She ran on strongly taking over at the 100m for a 2.67 length win over 1208m at Bunbury on 25 November, then raced greenly when 0.73 length 2nd over 1200m at Ascot on 12 December. Resumes here after an 18 week spell and should go well first-up.

Each Way
Prize Pursuit (Ascot Race 8 No. 4):
This three-year-old gelding has a win and a place from his three starts. He was held up from the turn to the 100m when 0.8 length 4th over 1200m at Pinjarra Park on 17 December and should have finished closer, then he led all the way for a 2.8 length win over 1300m at Pinjarra Park on 28 December. Resumes here from a 16 week spell and has had a trial at Lark Hill. William Pike is riding and he looks a good each-way bet.

Best Lay
Giancana (Ascot Race 7 No. 3):
This three-year-old Streetboss filly has won one of her four starts and is the early favourite in this Class 1 handicap over 1200m. At the end of last campaign she fought on for 2.24 lengths 6th in the Listed Placid Ark Stakes over 1200m at Ascot on 21 November. She resumed for 4.47 lengths 7th over 1100m at Ascot on 3 April where she didn’t run. Blinkers will go back on but I don’t know if that will be enough to make her win and she offers no value.

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

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
