Ascot Racecourse will host Western Australian metropolitan racing for the first time this season on Saturday. The track is currently rated a Soft 5 with no rain on the forecast before raceday, so we should be on a Good track when the first of 10 jumps at 11:59am AWST. The rail will be in the 3m position for the entire course.
Ascot Best Bet: Treasured Star
Our best bet will be in the lucky last of the day, where the very smart Treasured Star from the Adam Durrant yard will return from a spell. This lightly raced four-year-old mare won the Group 2 WA Guineas before going out for a spell and now returns in a much lesser grade, a BM78. Adam Durrant has given this girl two trials before bringing her back to the races today, so she should be fit enough to win her first-up assignment today. Western Australia’s premier jockey, Clint Johnston-Porter will take the ride on this daughter of Toronado, after riding her at both of her trials, so we should be seeing this talented mare win again.
Best Bet
Race 10 – 
#6 Treasured Star (2)
4yo Mare | T: Adam Durrant | J: Clint Johnston-Porter (57kg)

Next Best Bet at Ascot: Vampi At Play
The Neville Parnham-trained Vampi At Play will be our next best bet in race six over 1200m at her first-up run for her second preparation of her young career. This three-year-old filly has not finished outside the top two at all four of her starts for her career with one win and three seconds on her record. After one trial over 1000m on September 28, this girl should be ready to go first-up with Steven Parnham to take the ride, who also rode her in her trial. From barrier five, this daughter of Playing God should be able to take up a prominent position outside the leader or in the one-one, making her very hard to beat in the home straight.

Best Value at Ascot: Top Of The Pops
In race nine – the 3YO Classic – we find our best value bet on the card, Top Of The Pops. The Daniel Morton-trained gelding is undefeated from his first four career starts, winning over 1200m and 1400m in his first preparation. This son of Spirit Of Boom has opened at $8.50 with most online bookmakers and we believe he is way over the odds as he is one of only two horses that are undefeated in this field. We are more than happy to have our money on this gelding considering he hasn’t ever tasted defeat, and we hope that he can continue on his winning ways with another win first-up over 1000m.
Best Value

#2 Top Of The Pops (10)
