Racing will return to Ascot once again this Saturday afternoon, where a massive 11-race program is scheduled to take place. The track is expected to remain in the Good range with perfect summer weather forecast in the lead-up to the meeting after the surface was rated as a Good 4 at the time of acceptances. The rail will be in the +8m position for the entire circuit, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 11:25am AWST.
Best Bet at Ascot: Fast Flicker
Fast Flicker produced a very good front-running performance at Pinjarra last start, when the Tony Triscari-trained mare was run over by The Boss Lady in the final strides over 1300m. The daughter of A Lot led the small field from the jump until the final 50m, and even though she was beaten, this girl defeated the rest of the field by some margin. With another strong performance in a similar field, Fast Flicker can beat those rivals once again and go one better.
Best Bet
Race 10 – 
#4 Fast Flicker (5)
5yo Mare | T: Tony Triscari | J: Steven Parnham (58.5kg)

Next Best at Ascot: Citino
In a race that Profit Pocket dominated from the front, Citino was one of the only runners that took significant ground off the tearaway winner over 1600m at this track. Michael Grantham and Steven Parnham will combine with his five-year-old gelding, who will be third-up and ready to strike at peak fitness. From barrier one, Parnham can settle this guy closer to the speed on the rail, and if Citino gets into clear air with 300m to go, he can bring up his first victory of the campaign.

Race 3 – 
#4 Citino (1)

Best Value at Ascot: History Won’t Care
History Won’t Care should have won first-up at Pinjarra when he competed in a Class 3 Handicap over 1200m; however, he was held up for most of the home straight before squeezing through a gap late to finish a narrow second. The son of Universal Ruler settled worse than midifled and took runs along the inside rail, but once he tried to get into clear running, he was blocked multiple times. Jason Miller has found a winnable race for History Won’t Care, and with even luck, he can go one better and claim victory second-up.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#6 History Won’t Care (6)
4yo Gelding | T: Jason Miller | J: Lucy Fiore (57.5kg)
