A Group3 and 3 Listed races including......

Ascot today
 

R1 - leader Lie In Wait should be unchallenged and that could be the race. Admiring needs more pace on, unless it goes forward early(possible). Tip 1 - 4. Lay 2.

R2 - tricky stayers race. Calico Blue was 3 wide without a trail last time and finished well. Goldtown runs on strongly when in the mood. Tips 2 / 6. Lay 4.

R5 - leader Stratazoa - La Forza - Shock Value. London(easy Trial win) has a bad draw so with luck could end up 3 wide with cover. Tipping Shock Value to pinch a break from Escadaire(good Trial) with London running on well. Tip 10 - 1/3. Lay 5.

R6 - leader Comic Hero - Spitfire Lad. Marasco resuming from nearly 290 day spell and without a Trial, but there aren't any standout challengers in this. Fred Kersley having a bad run, his last Ascot winner was in January. The WFA conditions help Tarzi turn around the Bunbury form with a couple of the others. Tip 1 - 2. Lay 6.

ascot..r1..main trio..ottumwa..admiring..& lie in wait..next best..last curtain..pencaza..snuglet..& la soeur noir

Super victory to Marasco running his usual sub 34 secs for last 600m. Haven't seen Kersley's plans yet but he likes going East so I'll guess something late Sydney carnival or the Doomben 10000 / Stradbroke races.

One to follow from yesterday is Shock Value. Started badly from the gates and instead of being on the pace it was out the back. Ran on well.

Immediate racing plans for Hay List are up in the air. Trainer John McNair has revealed he is battling a major problem with the 4YO’s front heels.

Ascot Saturday
 

R1) Leaders....Lie In Wait - Hawkeye Mort(gear changes) - Truckin Tobie. Lie In Wait is $2.6, I have it about $4. So it has to be a Lay. A roughie for exotics is Money Exchange.

R5) Open race and some tipsters going for Trafalgar Square. But I'm backing eachway Hoodlum Gang and Vainito.

R7) Roberts Stakes is for 3 year olds heading towards the Derby. Leaders....Yabigorse - Impressive Jeuney. Looks to better suit God Has Spoken which should position closer in the run than Bridgestone and For Your Eyes Only. The leaders are dangerous as well. It's a very good race.

R8) Big field, luck needed. Backing Highest Honour, 3rd up to its best distance, and Major Sweeney, a newbie from Adelaide and is a big query.

Nice start schonegg!
