Best Bet Ascot r8 King Blitz; Richly talented 6 year old who has battled soundness issues his all career hence only the 11 starts. Trainer has stated he is ready for a trip this time in which indicates he is 100% fit and healthy. Has been lumping enormous weights down in class including 62kgs latest run where he won over 1600m. 55kgs will feel like a feather to him. Big responsibility on jockey Peta Edwards to win a Saturday feature but she is his regular jockey . Has been absolutely hammered in pre post betting.
Best Value Ascot r9 Mankind; Not often we get $8 on a “Pike in the last” runner . Has a great first up and track and distance record. A soft track would double my confidence , I’m predicting good but it still should have some give in it at least. Beat Free Trade (wide the trip with big weight) last prep. Free Trade has been touted as a group horse. 25/75 stake looks a good each way bet.
