FREE: Ascot Selections: Wednesday 19th October

Decent midweek card with the rail out 15m and a cutaway in the straight. Some nicely placed 3YOs up against the older horses the key talking points.

6. Juruena Gold – 11. Royal Elite – 10. Storm Leader – 4. Optimal

Race 2 – 12:54PM AMELIA PARK LODGE (1400 METRES)

13. Fashion Stakes – 8. Rare Encounter – 4. Ouqburra – 11. Samaria

Fashion Stakes

Fashion Stakes fits that mould of a promising 3yo that finds an all-age maiden and a very weak one at that. Might need some luck from the draw, but think she is a nice filly and like how her form from her initial prep reads up. Neville Parnham has said he has an opinion of her and thought her recent trial when not asked to do a whole heap was a solid enough hit out. Really like her chances at around that $3.00 quote.

2.5 Units WIN

Race 5 – 2:54PM QUAYCLEAN HANDICAP (1000 METRES)

5. Invincible Ruby – 4. Sky Duke – 8. Saasmit – 1. Regal Access

Invincible Ruby

Rinse repeat with the 3yo formula, Invincible Ruby gives me the vibe she’s a real line chaser and with so much weak speed on here, she gets a great race to park behind them and blouse them late with a cutaway in play if Troy Turner need be. Loved her recent trial with the un-raced apprentice when having to cover some extra distance and think she looks a really sharp type. $5.00 a nice price.

2 Units WIN

Sky Duke I like as a horse but doesn’t give me the vibe he will appreciate being really taken on like I think he potentially could be here and perhaps 1000m is a slight query? Just think he’s under the odds at around $2.10. Join Or View Unibet Here View PLAYUP Racing Markets Here

Race 6 – 3:32PM AIRAH WA HANDICAP (1200 METRES)

7. One Cool Gal – 9. Dream Evil – 1. Pick Your Battles – 11. Lil Red Bikini

One Cool Gal

Complete forgive run from this horse in the 3YO Classic. Just got shuffled back off a hot early speed and was completely chopped out at the top of the straight, never got a chance to show her best and she still hasn’t been beaten all that far. Think she’s much more tractable at 1200m and drops back sharply in grade here to a CL3. Just needs to find some luck/cover from the wide draw which is why $3.30 is my bet price for yet another promising 3yo type up against the older horses.

2 Units WIN @$3.30+ BSP

If One Cool Gal is as well supported closer to start time as she has been in early betting, I’m happy to have something small on Dream Evil.

She’s a complete fresh horse, all of her career best runs have been 1st up and prior to last prep’s fresh win trialled up like she’d be competitive in a Winterbottom so I like that she’s been kept even fresher for this. Nice soft map for a midfield run smothered up with just the 53kgs, small investment at the $6.00.
