Ascot r2 Ruthless Tycoon; Unbeaten at trials and scratched from Wednesday to debut here. Looks a powerful sprinter drawn to race on pace and there has already been strong market support.
Ascot r3 Home in Five ; Very keen to take on the favourite Billy Ray at $2.60. It’s a maiden who was unlucky not to win in Midweek grade first up but has gone under at long odds on in the past. Decided on Home in Five as he’s won 3/5 in impressive fashion and at $5 looks better value. Trainer Michael Lane has always had a high opinion of the horse. 2/2 on soft if the track remains wet.
Ascot r4 Treat Yo Self ; Come back really well this time in. Did all the work first up and only grabbed late. 2nd up controlled it from the front and bolted in. Technically up in grade but there are no stars in it and she is progressing the right way.
Best Bet Ascot r8 Image Keeper ; A horse that has won 3/4 and is still improving with racing finds himself as favourite in a 100k Westpeed Platinum final. Great placement from the trainer , none of the others here boast anything near that strike rate / potential. Only has to handle the 59kgs to win.
Ascot r9 Minnie Winnie ; Enormous effort to nearly knock off a smart 3yo last start . Dominant win at Bunbury start prior. A mare in form who gets her chance to notch up a city win.
