Here is the predicted track pattern for Ascot on Saturday together with our best bet for the meeting.
TRACK
Soft 5
TRACKWALKER
Inside 3 lanes marginally inferior to the rest of the track but that could even up as the track dries out. With no more rain forecast we expect the track to get into the good range and race fairly

BARRIERS
1600m – Starts from a mini chute but they hit the turn fairly quickly making wide gates tricky
MILLER & CARBERRY
Simon Miller is regarded as one of the best strike rate trainers in the land. His lifetime rate is 20% but recently at Ascot he’s been training at 29%. Pat Carberry has ridden more winners for Miller than any other jockey over the last 365 days and he’s done it at the strike of 26%, well above Carberry’s lifetime strike rate of 10%
NIC ASHMAN TIP
Race 9 No.5 DOM TO SHOOT [EACH-WAY] $15
“Drops back from G3 to this RTG78 race after tackling the Peter Stakes 2UP last time when not disgraced. Always improves sharply 3UP where he hasn’t missed a top 2 finish in four runs”
