Ascot Racecourse is set to host a huge 12-race meeting this Saturday afternoon. The track was rated a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, but with hot and dry conditions forecast for Friday and Saturday, there is no doubt that we will race on a Good surface. The rail will move back into the +1m position for the entire circuit, with racing set to kick off at the earlier time of 11:19am AWST.
Best Bet at Ascot: Fluro Neuro
We were with Fluro Neuro at his most recent start when the Grant & Alana Williams-trained entire ran home nicely from the back of the field but could only manage a fourth-place finish. After jumping slowly and settling at the rear of the field, this son of Gingerbread Man never really got into the race as the leaders set a moderate tempo and he had to make runs in between horses. With more speed and a quicker race tempo expected on Saturday, we expect this guy to perform much better. The booking of Chris Parnham for his first ride on Fluro Neuro signals intent from the stable, and we are more than happy to be on his side again.
Best Bet
Race 12 – 
#7 Fluro Neuro (13)

Next Best at Ascot: Manavendra
Manavendra will be seeking a hattrick of wins when he steps out at Ascot over 2200m for the second time in as many weeks for the Daniel & Ben Pearce stable. Last Saturday, this four-year-old gelding was given a great ride by Clint Johnston-Porter to run over the top of the leader in the final 100m and career away for an impressive one-length victory. Although this son of Deep Field will rise slightly in grade for this contest, Johnston-Porter has chosen to ride this gelding over the favourite, which is a very good push in our opinion. From barrier seven, Manavendra can slot in midfield off the fence, build her momentum before the home turn, and let down with his powerful finish.
Next Best
Race 10 – 
#3 Manavendra (7)

Best Value at Ascot: Desert Whisper
Although the debut run of Desert Whisper didn’t go as her trainer, Luke Fernie, would have planned, the two-year-old filly finished the race off nicely. At this track and trip on January 20, this daughter of Rommel jumped slow and was pushed along early to stay in touch with the field before letting down strong to run into third place behind Madhi Girl. If she can jump with the rest of the field and find a position in the middle of the pack, we expect Desert Whisper to go very close at a nice each-way price with online bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 4 – #7 Desert Whisper (12)
