Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 23 Journalists Posted January 23 What Ascot races Where Ascot Racecourse – 71 Grandstand Rd, Ascot WA 6104 When Saturday, January 25, 2025 First Race 1:04pm AWST Visit Dabble The Listed Scenic Blast Stakes will headline the nine-race card at Ascot this Saturday afternoon. The track was rated as a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, but with hot weather forecast later in the week, the surface will improve into the Good range by raceday. The rail will be in the +5m position for the entire circuit, with the first race scheduled to kick off at 1:04pm AWST. Scenic Blast Stakes tip: Triple Jay Triple Jay was last seen finishing second behind Saloon Bar in the Listed Farnley Stakes in September, with that runner-up finish coming after a four-win streak. The Daniel & Ben Pearce-trained gelding has been given two good hitouts over 950m at the Lark Hill barrier trials and appears ready to strike first-up. From barrier five, Brad Parnham can settle in the one-one position and pounce on the vulnerable leaders in the final 400m. Scenic Blast Stakes Race 8 – #4 Triple Jay (5) 5yo Gelding | T: Daniel & Ben Pearce | J: Brad Parnham (56.5kg) +400 with BlondeBet Best Bet at Ascot: Sensessional Following a strong effort over 1400m fresh, the Grant & Alana Williams-trained Sensessional will step up to a much more suitable 1600m trip second-up. Previously, the son of Sessions settled at the rear of a six-horse field and ran home strongly along the inside rail to finish second behind Yarralea. With a solid tempo expected in this contest, Clint Johnston-Porter will settle Sensessional in a similar position and attempt to round up their rivals in the final 300m. Best Bet Race 7 – #2 Sensessional (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Grant & Alana Williams | J: Clint Johnston-Porter (59kg) +170 with Neds Next Best at Ascot: Horcrux Horcrux showed his rivals a clean pair of heels when giving them a galloping lesson over 1100m at this track as a heavily backed favourite with PlayUp. The Simon Miller-trained gelding led from start to finish when he returned from an eight-week freshen and looks like the one to beat again in a similar contest on Saturday. Jordan Turner will take the son of Rommel to the front and find the lead with ease from barrier one, and if Horcrux shows a similar dash in the final 300m, he will give them something to chase. Next Best Race 5 – #1 Horcrux (1) 3yo Gelding | T: Simon Miller | J: Jordan Turner (59.5kg) +170 with PlayUp Saturday quaddie tips for Ascot races Ascot quadrella selections Saturday, January 25, 2025 1-4-7-9 2-5-8 2-4-5-8-9 2-5-7-11 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote
