Best From The West : Ascot – 6th April 2019

3 minute read

The Karrakatta Plate highlights the day at Ascot. There might be some value in the big juvenile race.

However we’ll look after our best bet first.

Even though first up against a field of mainly hard fit horses, happy to suggest that Free Trade is up to beating these 1MW rivals in Race 6.

The four year old won two trials and then made his debut at Bunbury when leading and trotting in by over two lengths.

Put straight out, he returns again off winning two trials and has the bottom weight for some bonus.

Those who have recent wins run off low races or were big prices in doing so, so it would make you believe the form is sketchy.

The Trade Fair gelding just has to improve again off the spell and can justify the quote.

Onto that Karrakatta Plate and the value may be around Dig Deep from a lovely draw.

This two year old was supported in the Perth Stakes but was slow out off the inside and ended up four back the fence.

Once he got clear toward the middle of the track, his last 100m was the best of the race.

He can’t afford to miss away like that again in such a competitive race but if he sits not that far away, he will be charging home over the longer trip.

Happy to have something on him at the double figures.

BEST FROM THE WEST

BET OF THE DAY: Race 6 #11 Free Trade @ $1.85

EACH WAY PLAY: Race 8 #6 Dig Deep @ $11.00

Amelia Park-Karrakatta Plate (G2)

Age: 2yo Type: OPEN

Once he saw daylight Dig Deep clawed his way into the lead at the 50m then thrust his neck forward for a surprise win here, his second in three starts. He settled in behind the early charge for position and sat one off the fence in fifth. Stuck in traffic rounding into the home straight a gap closed as he straightened but inside the 200m he moved out a lane and went after the leaders. He took a few strides to balance then accelerated quickly from the 100m, levelled up to the leaders at the 50m and thrust his neck out just short of the line. Tinsnip was midfield at the 600m, rounded into the straight very wide and when balanced ran home very well to be a neck back in second. Miss West Coast was four wide turning in, challenged and grabbed the lead at the 100m but was swamped the last 50m from pacemaker Amelia's On Fire, who was caught at the 100m then held on for fourth.
