Saturday Racing Tips - Ascot 26/10/24

Whilst plenty of eyes will inevitably be turning to Moonee Valley and the Cox Plate this weekend, staying present at Ascot will be the key focus for everybody involved with Western Australian racing here.

There are 9 races to be run and won, with plenty of top quality horses in action and each and every race looks to have a fascinating narrative behind it.

As ever, OnlyRacing are on hand to help keep all punters in the loop and it should be an excellent afternoon of action.

Selections:
7. Let's Talk - $3.20
6. On Patrol - $4.60
1. Ain't No Other Man - $5.00

BEST BET - Let's Talk - $3.20
It may be early on in the career of Let's Talk but in its two outings so far, it has forged a fierce reputation as being one of the best around over 1200m. A win and a place in its two outings are a huge tick in the box and it looks to be one of our best bets of the day.

THE DANGER - On Patrol - $4.60
By contrast, On Patrol is much more experienced at the same age but doesn't have the standout results on its record to match. It has been travelling well in recent weeks though and it likes it here at Ascot.

VALUE BET - Ain't No Other Man - $5.00
Another well versed horse at this level is Ain't No Other Man, who won well last time out and is consequently bang in the hunt here. Consistency has long been an issue but it has the pace to compete.

Selections:
1. Simply - $1.75
5. I Love Your Smile - $8.50
6. Ryewood - $8.50

BEST BET - Simply - $1.75
The form of Simply has been sublime of late and it looks unstoppable at this level, especially here at Ascot. It has won its last two outings and with William Pike on board, another triumph looks to be in the offing here.

THE DANGER - I Love Your Smile - $8.50
Challenging Simply is no easy task but I Love Your Smile has the credentials to run it close. Over 2200m, this horse should be bang in its element, it will just be a case of staying in touch and hoping for a mistake.

VALUE BET - Ryewood - $8.50
Similarly, Ryewood is looking to show that it means business in this one and fresh off a win here at Ascot last time out, confidence should be high. However, usurping Simply is a tall order but it looks a good price to place.

Selections:
5. West Star - $2.60
10.September Born - $3.50
9. Horcrux - $12.00

BEST BET - West Star - $2.60
It may be early days in the career of West Star but it looks to be a horse on the cusp of greatness. Two wins and two placings from 4 races have been eye-catching and wth pace to burn, it is the one to beat here over 1200m at Ascot. 

THE DANGER - September Born - $3.50
A horse even earlier in its development is in the mix here, as September Born looks to back up its debut win with another strong showing here at Ascot. It is the unknown quantity in this race and it has the pace to compete over this distance.

VALUE BET - Horcrux - $12.00
Similarly, Horcrux won its only previous race at this level and consequently, it has to be kept in consideration here. The trip and the going should be a great fit and it will be interesting to see if Horcrux can compete in this one.
