Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 31 Journalists Share Posted October 31 What Ascot races Where Ascot Racecourse – 71 Grandstand Rd, Ascot WA 6104 When Saturday, November 2, 2024 First Race 12:24pm AWST Visit Dabble The Prince Of Wales Stakes and Asian Beau Stakes, both at Group 3 level, will headline the massive nine-race card at Ascot this Saturday afternoon. The track was rated as a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, but with perfect weather forecast in the lead-up to the meeting, expect an upgrade to a Good surface on Saturday. The rail will be pushed out to the +8m position for the entire circuit, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 12:24pm AWST. Prince Of Wales Stakes tip: Snowdome Neville and Brad Parnham will combine with the recently gelded Snowdome when he returns from a 32-week spell in the Prince Of Wales Stakes with no public trial in readiness for this contest. This son of Rommel has strong first-up (6:2-1-1) and distance (8:4-1-2) records, and with him coming into this with no trial, it suggests he is going very well at home. From barrier one, Parnham will settle behind a hot speed, and if he can get into clear air at the 300m mark, Snowdome will prove hard to hold out. Prince Of Wales Stakes Race 7 – #4 Snowdome (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Neville Parnham | J: Brad Parnham (58.5kg) +500 with Picklebet Asian Beau Stakes tip: Super Smink Super Smink appears to have returned in career best form this preparation, recording back-to-back placings in her two runs, including an unlucky second in the Group 3 Eurythmic Stakes last start. Daniel Morton and the connections of this daughter of Super One will be very happy after drawing barrier six, which should allow Chris Parnham to settle closer to the speed. If Parnham can find a back to follow around the final corner and is within four lengths off the leader, Super Smink will power over the top of her rivals late. Asian Beau Stakes Race 8 – #2 Super Smink (6) 4yo Mare | T: Daniel Morton | J: Chris Parnham (57kg) +240 with Dabble Best Bet at Ascot: Pull The Trigger After having to share the spoils in a dead-heat last start, Pull The Trigger will seek a winning hat-trick in the opening race for Daniel & Ben Pearce. This four-year-old gelding has won both starts since returning for his third racing campaign, and with the strength of his finishing burst over 1400m, the 1600m should suit third-up. After drawing the ace barrier, William Pike will settle close to the speed and attempt to replicate last start by bursting through a gap late to savage the line. Best Bet Race 1 – #3 Pull The Trigger (1) 4yo Gelding | T: Daniel & Ben Pearce | J: William Pike (57.5kg) +170 with Neds Next Best at Ascot: Chollima Chollima was the flashing light run in a 1400m race at this track on October 19, when the Darren McAuliffe-trained mare worked home strongly between runners to finish third. Now that the daughter of Starspangledbanner strikes a weaker race over 1500m, she will appreciate a strong speed and should be hitting this contest at peak fitness third-up. Brad Parnham will settle worse than midfield on the outside of runners before peeling out wide to finish off strongly down the middle of the track.
