Ascot Tips April 26
Belhus Racing Stables 30th Anniversary Handicap Tips (Race 3)
Ascot Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 4 Be Bardot
A dual Belmont winner last prep the four-year-old came close to registering her first win here when losing out narrowly over 1200m when racing first up this prep.
The pick placed second when contesting a Class 3 handicap event held on a good 4 track on that occasion.
The four-year-old proved a disappointment when jumping as favourite for a 1400m event here next time but she returned to form when saluting here when last in action two weeks ago.
Stepping up to 1600m for the first time this prep the filly came home a length clear of her rivals having jumped from a double-figure barrier that day.
The extra 200m she tackles here is no issue and she is expected to slot in behind the speed with regular rider William Pike up.
An inside alley is a further positive and representing the powerful Grant & Alana Williams team she looks up to recording her fourth career win.
Quayclean Handicap Tips (Race 5)
Ascot Best Bet - Race 5 No. 1 Sixinch Heels
Simon Miller’s representative registered three good efforts last prep however she has shown improvement since breaking through for her first win at Pinjarra early last month.
Racing first up this prep the filly came home four lengths clear of her rivals when jumping at short-odds for a 1200m maiden held on a good 4 track.
The pick won under hands and heels riding that day and duly followed up when successful by nearly two lengths in a Class 1 handicap here just under two weeks later.
The form of that Class 1 event is working out well with the third, sixth and eighth all winning subsequently.
The daughter of Nicconi has gone on to register two subsequent wins here herself including over this course and distance on her penultimate start.
The selection arrives here on the back of a near one-length triumph in a 1200m event at this circuit two weeks ago and with a good barrier she is taken to complete a five-timer.
Lawn Pride Australia – Karrakatta Plate (Group 2) Tips (Race 7)
Ascot Value Bet - Race 7 No. 11 Snitzalatte
The daughter of Snitzel showed up well in winning her sole barrier trial at Pinjarra prior to making her debut at this venue last month.
The youngster was fractious in the gate and overraced at times before delivering a victory by over a length when contesting a 1000m event held on a good 4 track.
The form of that contest looks solid enough with the fourth home winning at Belmont since and the runner-up finishing second here subsequently.
The selection again raced on a good 4 track when stepped up to 1200m and tackling a double-figure field for the first time she came home one-and-a-half-lengths clear of her nearest pursuer.
The time of that latest victory was nothing to write home about however the filly remains open to improvement and heads into this contest unbeaten.
Lucy Fiore takes the ride for the first time and her mount looks value to negotiate a wide barrier to maintain her unbeaten record.
The Kia Quokka Tips (Race 8)
Ascot Feature Bet - Race 8 No. 1 Overpass
The winner of both previous renewals of this valuable contest it’s hard to get past Bjorn Baker’s gelding.
The six-year-old is unbeaten in four starts at this venue having also saluted in back-to-back running’s of the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes over this course and distance.
The picks second Winterbottom Stakes saw him come home nearly a length clear of his fifteen rivals when jumping from a wide barrier here at the end of November.
The son of Vancouver was spelled following that success registering a couple of barrier trial wins prior to resuming in the Group 1 T J Smith at Randwick earlier this month.
The gelding lost out narrowly in finishing runner-up having been ridden from the front on that occasion and he comes into this in good form.
While barrier ten isn’t ideal here he has enough early speed to overcome that and looks capable of completing a hat-trick of wins in this race with regular rider Josh Parr again in the saddle.
