Best Bet - Ascot Race 2
5
Valsassina $2.60
Valsassina was ultra-impressive when resuming.
She is ideally placed in this grade and looks destined to win again on Saturday.
From a middle gate, she will go back, and I expect her to round them up in a few strides.
She oozes class and is the best bet on a monster racing program.
Sky Duke is the main danger from an inside draw.
She is putting together a consistent campaign and will have market support with Brad Parnham aboard.
Next Best - Ascot Race 3

Stella Fair $4.50
Stella Fair looks poised to strike here third-up from a spell.
From the inside barrier, she will get a dream run, and I expect her to be in the finish.
She was only narrowly beaten last start, and this looks like her race.
Only bad luck in running will dent her winning prospects.
Seeable will start favourite with Brad Brad Rawiller aboard.
He won well last start, and he will give them something to run down.
He may set up a winning margin if he can pinch some cheap sectionals on top of the speed.
Best Roughie - Ascot Race 4
7
Prize Pursuit $7.50/$3.20
The consistent Prize Pursuit is coming off an impressive victory at the track and distance.
He dug deep late to record a strong winning performance, and there is no reason why he can’t win again.
I expect the backmarker to drift back when the barriers open, and he will be motoring home late.
He can upstage the more fancied runners at a good price.
Burnya To Survive will start close to even money after a brilliant start to his preparation.
He has put back-to-back wins on the board and is well-placed to make it a hat trick in this grade.
The 5kg weight rise is a major concern.
QUADDIE
Q

Casino Seventeen will make or break our quaddie in the opening leg.
He looks one of the better bets on a very even program.
We have gone wide in the other three legs looking for some value.
