Ascot April 1st, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Ascot Race 7
2
Live To Tell $2.80
Live To Tell was brilliant in the Supremacy Stakes first-up from a spell.
Once she found clear air, she went past her rivals under a stranglehold to record an effortless victory.
She strips fitter, and with even luck in transit, I expect her to be too good again.
Barrier thirteen is the primary concern.
Super Smink can give the favourite a run for her money.
The Super One filly has been impressive in her two career starts to date, and she poses a blistering turn of foot.
She can swoop over her rivals late if they go too hard up front through the middle stages.

Ripcord $4.40
Ripcord has trialled impressively leading into his career debut.
The Written By gelding looks to have a high cruising speed, and there is a big boom around the Luke Fernie-trained two-year-old.
He is a realistic chance of winning a stakes race at his first start.
On exposed form, Snow Prince must be respected.
From an inside draw, the Safeguard gelding will roll forward, and if they leave him to his own devices, the race may be over before the final furlong.
His record at the distance must be respected, and he has been heavily supported since markets opened.

All In Red $14/$3.70
All In Red looks over the odds after an honest preparation.
The Blackfriars mare has attacked the line without threatening at her last two outings, and the mile looks advantageous at this stage of her campaign.
Her record fourth-up must be respected, and she should get the run of the race from barrier one.
Mack Mack will start favourite after a dominant win at Pinjarra.
The All-American gelding has attracted early market support, and he is undefeated at the mile.
He is rock-hard fit, and he can lead them a merry dance on top of the speed.
Fear The Wind is a must for all multiples and broader exotics.
The Fiorente gelding doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and he looks well placed in this event.
