Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman’s is siding with a local for this Saturday’s Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) at Ascot.
Ascot R9 N2 JOKERS GRIN
“Airborne running career best figures this year,” Ashman said.
“The key to finding the winner here was the barrier draw and track report. If the intel said on pacers and JOKERS GRIN drew wide then advantage OVERPASS.
“But it’s saying just off rail with mid-runners suited plus JOKERS drew gate 5. There’s only one way he gets beaten and that’s if they can force him onto the rail three back.”
The top price around for this multi as of Thursday afternoon was $2.80.
Nic’s tips are striking at 54.2% since the beginning of 2024 with 32 collects from 59 selections.
