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.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 21st October 2024
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. Expecting all runners to have their chance on this typically fair playing track. Alysha Collett rides the best of the day and comes up mid way through the day. Best Bet Don't Doubt Merlin (Muswellbrook Race 3 No. 5) Big win on debut then tipped out after being a beaten $2.40 favourite at start number two but far from disgraced. A recent trial in heavy conditions was a strong piece of work and kicking
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Monday 21st October 2024
Key Comments The track is in the good range. On pacer runners typically suited on this track. The best bet is earlier on in the day and finds a modest race to be getting a deserved break through. Best Bet Autumn Colours (Warrnambool Race 2 No. 2) Looks the right race for Autumn Colours who has been solid in both runs this prep. Last start put in a decent third and strikes a race with less depth. From the good draw it will

Key Comments There are 7 races on the sand track. Best Bet Tow The Line (Mt Isa Race 7 No. 8) She has been runner-up at both starts since resuming. Fitter now and gets the chance to go one better.

Key Comments This meeting was originally scheduled for last Friday but was postponed due to severe weather and the state of the track. There are 9 races. The track is rated heavyb and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Testa Dexta (Penola Race 6 No. 4) Testa Dexta ran 4th in a stronger race at Morphettville on 11th October. If he repeats that effort here he will be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
