Best Bets
Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Harmika (Ascot Race 2 No. 5)
Harmika has a win and two places from her three starts. At the end of last campaign this Rogano Filly tried hard for 1.5 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Belmont on 11 September, then was spelled for 22 weeks. The three-year-old resumed for an easy 2 length win over 1000m at Belmont on 16 February and can win again over the same distance.

Each Way
Critical Altitude (Ascot Race 5 No. 4):
This four-year-old Exosphere mare has five places from eight starts and has been runner-up at all three runs this campaign. She led until overhauled in the final stride for 0.1 length 2nd over 1000m at Belmont on 2 February, then was headed at the 250m and fought on for 2 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Belmont on 16 February. Drawn beautifully in barrier 1 and is a solid each-way bet.

Best Lay
Friar Away (Ascot Race 8 No. 1):
This eight-year-old Blackfriars gelding trained by Justine Erkelens is the early favourite in this No Metro Wins Last Year Handicap race over 2200m. He was going well but faded in the final 200m to finish 3.5 lengths 8th over 2000m at Pinjarra Park on 6 February, then joined in approaching the home turn to finish a length 2nd over 2200m at Ascot on 19 February. With only 4 wins from 46 starts I’m willing to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments There's a massive 10 race meeting. The track is Soft and the rail is +0.5 metres from the 700m-300m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Unleash (Gatton Race 5 No. 6) Unleash was a winner at Toowoomba two starts back then got in all sorts of bother last start when she was slowly away, over-raced, bumped and held-up but still managed to grab 3rd. If she is ridden forward she should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres from the 1100-450m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet is in the first race and ticks all the boxes to be winning. Best Bet Summer Soiree (Hawkesbury Race 1 No. 1) Ticks all the boxes here. Off the back of a strong last start run, maps well, drops in grade, Collett steers and sticks in the saddle, has seen the track. Stacks to like about the prospects of this one to kick
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Thursday 18th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres the entire circuit. The best bet looks really well placed on the back of a strong first up run. Best Bet Nodachi (Pakenham Race 6 No. 5) Excellent first up run when hitting the line with intent after taking a rails run. Last prep had form around the likes of Griff and looks very well suited to this field. The odds appeal. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
