Saturday Racing Tips - Ascot Racecourse 04/01/25

Western Australian racing looks set to go from strength to strength in 2025 and the ball gets rolling here at Ascot.

No fewer than 11 races comprise a thrilling January card and some of the very best horses in Australia are in the mix.

OnlyRacing are on hand to cherry pick the best bets on the card, as we look to get one over the bookies to kick start the new year.

(Note: Odds provided by Picklebet)

Selections:
2. Final Siren - $2.00
1. Premium Choice - $2.80
3. Snow Prince - $4.00

BEST BET - Final Siren - $2.00
An underwhelming last outing here at Ascot has placed a bit of a question mark on Final Siren but there is no doubting the endless talent of this horse. It will be out to prove the doubters wrong here and should benefit from a few scratchings.

THE DANGER - Premium Choice - $2.80
Having not raced in the best part of a year, Premium Choice will be looking to hit the ground running in this short and sharp trip at Ascot. Over 1000m there isn't much margin for error but this a horse that is capable of tearing up the field on its day.

VALUE BET - Snow Prince - $4.00
Back to back placings are a huge tick in the box for Snow Prince, who has clearly gone under the radar in this one. It has the pace to mix it in this field and looks a good price too.

Selections:
5. Valsassina - $2.10
7. Memory Parade - $5.00
2. Capre Omnia - $7.00

BEST BET - Valsassina - $2.10
Winning in devestating fashion last time out here at Ascot gives Valsassina the look of a justified market favourite in this one and who knows if it can be stopped. It is a horse bang in form and conditions should suit perfectly.

THE DANGER - Memory Parade - $5.00
Prior to a niggle that has seen Memory Parade out of action for the best part of 6 months, this horse was bang in form and on paper can compete here. Fitness question marks loom but if it gets a run, it shouldn't be too far away. 

VALUE BET - Capre Omnia - $7.00
It could be all about running for places here and Capre Omnia looks a decent bet to feature in that market. Consistency has been there of late but it could struggle to have the sheer pace to compete with the market leaders over 1000m.

Selections:
8. Red Tori - $2.80
4. On Patrol - $4.00
5. Soldenelle - $9.00

BEST BET - Red Tori - $2.80
Getting over the line has been tough for Red Tori of late but this looks like a great chance to get back in the winner's enclosure. This trip at Ascot looks to be tailor made and this is an easier field than it faced last time out in finishing 3rd.

THE DANGER - On Patrol - $4.00
Form has deserted On Patrol in recent races but the calibre of this horse cannot be doubted and it can certainly mix it in this company. Returning to Ascot could be an inspired move from connections and On Patrol is one to keep an eye on.

VALUE BET - Soldenelle - $9.00
Irish flyer Soldenelle steps up to race in this field at Ascot but is certainly the in form choice in the betting market and it comes into this one, fresh off the back of a win at Bunbury last time out.
