Ascot Race 3 Tip #4 Pretty Style $4.00
Pretty Style was unlucky when resuming over this track and distance, going down by the narrowest of margins.
She's won second-up previously and draws the inside alley, which could prove vital if the speed is on early.
She's proven at this distance and given she strips fitter following her first-up run, she'll be hard to beat.
Ascot Race 7 Tip #8 Samizdat $3.20
Unless your name is Blind Freddy, you would have seen the run of Samizdat in the Northerly Stakes.
After jumping from a wide gate, he settled last. He then absolutely flew home late, to run a 2.2 lengths fifth behind talented galloper The Velvet King.
The smaller field here is a plus and he gets in beautifully with the light weight of 54kg. The blinkers go on and you can expect him to be storming over the top late again.
Ascot Race 8 Tip #6 Stageman $3.90 (Best Bet)
Stageman comes here off successive placings in Listed company and now gets his chance to breakthrough.
He's drawn out for this but given his racing style, he'll be snagged back for the last run at them.
In a big push for his chances, the Wizard William Pike sticks for the ride.
He relishes this distance, with three wins and three places from six starts over 1000m.
He's well suited at weight-for-age and will be charging at them late.
