Visit Dabble

Ascot will host a very competitive nine-race meeting this Saturday afternoon. With perfect summer weather forecast in the lead-up, the track is expected to remain in the Good range after being rated as a Good 4 at the time of acceptances. The rail will be in the +3m position for the entire circuit, with the first race scheduled to jump at 1:04pm AWST.

Best Bet at Ascot: Rocking Society

Although two of his three wins have been by narrow margins, Rocking Society has been racing in career-best form this preparation. The Jason Miller-trained gelding brought up the hat-trick with a narrow victory over Alskan at this track over 2200m on January 4. Drawing barrier three and dropping back to 2100m are two positives for Rocking Society, and with even luck, he should record his fourth straight victory.

Next Best at Ascot: Bonjoy

Jason Miller and Clint Johnston-Porter will combine with Bonjoy for the sixth straight start, coming off a narrow victory in the Listed Jungle Dawn Classic on December 14. The four-week freshen for this daughter of Maschino should only be seen as a positive, and now that she returns in a weaker grade, the +250 on offer with PlayUp looks like a great price. Expect Johnston-Porter to settle Bonjoy towards the back of the field before getting her out to the middle of the track to let down with a strong finish.

Best Value at Ascot: Starring Knight

Another galloper who enters Saturday’s meeting on a win streak is the Daniel & Ben Pearce-trained Starring Knight, who has won his last two starts at Geraldton. The son of Shooting To Win has proven too strong for his rivals in recent runs, winning by two lengths over 1213m and just under a length over 1400m. From barrier two, Starring Knight can settle in the one-one position and receive a perfect run throughout.
