Best Bet Ascot r3 Island Missile ; Finally broke a very long drought last start winning a midweek c5 with a solid finishing burst. Hasn’t done much wrong since landing in WA and while this is technically a Saturday race in the middle of the masters , It’s only a 1 metro 57+ and the opposition doesn’t look much tougher. Has a good record at 1400m.

Ascot r4 I’m Pretty ; Steps up to 1400m first time this prep and even more importantly gets Pike. Pike can improve any horse but this horse has looked a Saturday horse at times when Pike rides and ordinary midweek battler without. The Each Way bet of the day.
