It may be dubbed Rock Magic Stakes Day, but the Listed Supremacy Stakes and Grandstand Cup will be the main attractions on Saturday’s nine-race program at Ascot. The track is expected to stay in the Good range for the whole meeting, with a perfect autumn day forecast for Perth. The rail will be in the +3m position for the entire circuit, with the opening race set to kick off at 12:19pm AWST.
Supremacy Stakes Tip: Onemoretwomany
Onemoretwomany had to do a lot of work to find the front from a wide barrier first-up in the Magic Millions WA 2YO Classic and was entitled to tire late, even though he was only beaten by just over two lengths. This son of Tassort has drawn much better in barrier one on Saturday, and he will be able to hold the rail in front of the field much more easily second-up. Dropping back from 1200m to 1000m shouldn’t be a problem, as this guy will be able to run the race at a strong speed and give his rivals something to chase.

Grandstand Cup Tip: Red Fifty Three
It is fair to say that Red Fifty Three should be undefeated this preparation; however, the Grant & Alana Williams-trained gelding clipped heels before getting clear two starts back and flashed up the inside rail to finish second last start. This son of Gingerbread Man is airborne this campaign and comes into the Grandstand Cup with the best form in the field. With even luck and an economical run in transit, Red Fifty Three will prove extremely hard to beat if he can maintain his recent form.

Best Bet at Ascot: Wild Belle
Wild Belle will return from a nine-week freshen in search of back-to-back victories after she was a dominant winner of the Listed Miss Andretti Stakes at Pinjarra on January 17 over 1200m. Luke Fernie is trying to get this talented mare into The Quokka, so it is expected that he will have her ready to go first-up in an attempt to impress slot holders. Although this daughter of Pride Of Dubai has drawn barrier one, Chris Parnham should be able to let the speed go and get off the rail early on before getting out wide on the home turn to fly down the outside late.

Next Best at Ascot: Karalee Rocks
After spending 11 months in Victoria under the care of Lindsey Smith, Karalee Rocks has returned to the Colin Webster stable and looks in good shape after impressive barrier trials over 1000m. This five-year-old mare has a strong first-up record (4:3-0-0), and with a lot of speed expected in this race, it should set up nicely for a swooper like this girl to round them up late. Jordan Turner has three wins from five rides on this daughter of Flying Artie, and if he can find a back to follow around the home turn, Karalee Rocks can return in a big way.

#4 Karalee Rocks (5)
