Saturday Racing Tips - Ascot Racecourse 11/01/25

Ascot has been hosting some stellar cards over the past few months on the Australian racing calendar and that trend looks set to ring true well into 2025.

All of the 9 races to be run and won promise plenty of action and drama and as ever,  OnlyRacing are on hand to provide insight from the paddock and point punters in the direction of the best bets of the day.

(Note: Odds provided by Picklebet)

Selections:
4. Papavero Princess - $1.90
2. Sensessional - $4.80
5. Street Band - $6.00

BEST BET - Papavero Princess - $1.90
Three wins on the spin heading into this one are huge tick in the box for Papavero Princess, a horse that looks to be ideal for this trip at Ascot - a view shared by most punters and backers, as it chases another win.

THE DANGER - Sensessional - $4.80
Similar form could have been boasted by Sensessional prior to an injury lay off but on paper, this horse is more than good enough to win this race. Fitness maybe the issue after some time away from the track but it is not without a chance.

VALUE BET - Street Band - $6.00
A curious dip in form has afflicted Street Band in recent races but it remains a horse with a strong track record, particularly here at Ascot and it is the type that could just come good at any given moment.

Selections:
5. Supernatural - $1.95
4. Sunshine Tafe - $6.50
6. Santanova - $8.00

BEST BET - Supernatural - $1.95
It has been an impressive run of form for Supernatural, winning and placing in its last two outings and it should go well again here. It enjoys the conditions at Ascot and if it runs its best race, it will take some stopping.

THE DANGER - Sunshine Tafe - $6.50
A rich vein of form has been displayed by Sunshine Tafe too, who won well last time out over a very similar distance. There is no denying that this is a tougher test but Sunshine Tafe is a capable competitor here.

VALUE BET - Santanova - $8.00
With a 100% placing record to its name Santanova, should be bang in the mix in this one. Rarely does it let punters down and with conditions sure to suit, it could be a good one to get on each way.

Selections:
6. Premium Choice - $3.40
7. Rockin' Rupert - $4.40
5. Oxbridge - $8.00

BEST BET - Premium Choice - $3.40
Two wins on the spin make Premium Choice the favourite to live up to its name in this one and it should react well to stepping up to 1100m. Competition is stiffer than it has been but Premium Choice is the justified market leader.

THE DANGER - Rockin' Rupert - $4.40
By contrast, Rockin' Rupert has found a step up in distance and quality hard over the past few weeks and returns to a more favourable distance in this one, making it a contender at a very tempting price.

VALUE BET - Oxbridge - $8.00
The fact that this field is so open should play into the hands of Oxbridge, a serial winner - especially here at Ascot and whilst others maybe quicker, it could have the nouse and the staying power to sneak another win.
