The Group 1 Railway Stakes will headline the massive nine-race program at Ascot this Saturday afternoon, while the Group 2 WA Guineas will be the co-feature for the three-year-olds. The track was rated as a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, but with no rain on the forecast for Friday and Saturday, expect a perfect Good 4 surface to be presented on raceday. The rail will be in the +5m position for the entire circuit, with racing set to kick off at 12:34pm AWST.
WA Guineas tip: September Born
After an impressive first-up performance in the Listed Belgravia Stakes, September Born was a good winner of the Listed Fairetha Stakes in his third career start. This son of Playing God was made to travel wide throughout the 1400m journey, but he took over with 300m to go and held on for a strong win. Brad Parnham has retained the ride, and with more of an economical run expected from barrier four, September Born will prove very hard to beat.

Best Bet at Ascot: Yonga Lass
Following her barnstorming finish in the Group 3 RJ Peters Stakes last Saturday, Yonga Lass will drop back in grade on a seven-day backup. The Grant & Alana Williams-trained mare settled at the rear of the field on a sedate tempo before flashing home for second place. William Pike sticks with the daughter of Universal Ruler, and if he can settle her closer to the speed from barrier four, Yonga Lass should win the Carbine Club Of WA Stakes.
Best Bet
Race 6 – #11 Yonga Lass (4)
5yo Mare | T: Grant & Alana Williams | J: William Pike (55.5kg)

Next Best at Ascot: Keshi Boom
Keshi Boom appears to be close to finding the form that allowed her to win her first four career starts of her career. The daughter of Spirit Of Boom finished third at this track and trip on November 9, working home nicely in between runners to nab a placing in the final strides. Now that she is hitting peak fitness third-up, William Pike will settle worse than midfield before getting Keshi Boom out to the middle of the track to let down with a strong finish.

Best Value at Ascot: Comic Hero
After drawing barrier one first-up, it was always going to be a hard watch if you backed Comic Hero. The son of Dalghar travelled sweetly along the inside rail to grab third place, but it took Clint Johnston-Porter too long to get off the fence. With Chris Parnham legged aboard for this start, it is expected that he will settle near last from barrier 10 and get Comic Hero into clear air to flash home down the middle of the track.
Best Value
Race 9 – 
#7 Comic Hero (10)
