Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Black Fantasy (Ascot Race 7 No. 1)
Black Fantasy has a win and four places from his six starts. When resuming from a 17 week spell this three-year-old Blackfriars gelding kept coming gamely through the ruck for 1.7 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Pinjarra Park on 6 February, then came from last for 1.5 lengths 2nd over 1400m at Ascot on 23 February. Steps up in distance and rates highly.

Each Way
Love Drunk Baby (Ascot Race 5 No. 5):
This four-year-old Bradbury’s Luck gelding has one win and two places from six starts. At the end of last campaign he started to tire at the 200m and faded late for 4.4 lengths 8th over 1100m at Ascot on 13 October. After 19 weeks he resumed for 2.3 lengths 4th after being blocked in the straight over 1100m at Ascot on 23 February. Was a bit unlucky first-up and looks a good each-way bet.

Best Lay
Time Scale (Ascot Race 3 No. 2):
This four-year-old Press Statement mare trained by Simon Miller is the early favourite in this No Metro Wins Last Year Handicap race over 1400m. He made some ground for 3 lengths 5th over 1000m at Ascot on 12 February, then was overhauled late for 1.4 lengths 4th over 1200m at Ascot on 23 February. Don’t think the rise in distance suits, and others offer better value.

Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and the skies are clear so the track should be a Good 4. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Turin Warrior (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3) Last-start winner at this track and distance. He’s drawn well and Karis Teetan sticks. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
