Ascot - Race 4 - Dave Mullen Wines Handicap - 1200m

Selections:
2. Sixinch Heels - $2.20
1. Magna's Choice - $4.50
10. Mighty Hosanna - $6.00

BEST BET - Sixinch Heels - $2.20
Having won three races on the spin prior to this, Sixinch Heels looks to be the complete unstoppable force at Ascot here. Obviously, it needs to go and get the job done again but nothing should be able to stop it.

THE DANGER - Magna's Choice - $4.50
The true unknown quantity in this one, Magna's Choice has been enjoying some good form, albeit at a lower level but it has pace to burn and it should relish this one at Ascot.

VALUE BET - Mighty Hosanna - $6.00
Inconsistency is often the key issue for Mighty Hosanna but this horse has already won well at Ascot this season and it feels like a candidate to be in the mix in this one.

Ascot - Race 5 - Mrs Mac's Handicap - 1600m

Selections:
7. Be Bardot - $2.80
4. Gage Roads - $5.50
3. Covert Rose - $8.00

BEST BET - Be Bardot - $2.80
Ascertaining where Be Bardot is at ahead of this one is not easy but this horse has bags of potential, something that cannot be questioned. William Pike is in the hoop and he loves winning at Ascot.

THE DANGER - Gage Roads - $5.50
Fresh off the back of a good win at Albany last time out, Gage Roads lines up here chasing another big return. This would obviously be a huge step up but it enters this field with more than an outside chance.

VALUE BET - Covert Rose - $8.00
Another flyer from the Williams yard, Covert Rose is taking a step up in trip and quality here and it should go off at a very decent price, making it a strong shout for an outsider.

Ascot - Race 8 - Roma Cup - 1100m

Selections:
7. Jokers Grin - $2.20
2. Rope Them In - $4.20
11. Generosity - $9.00

BEST BET - Jokers Grin - $2.20
The prolific Jokers Grin steps up here, chasing a big win at Ascot, in what would be its 7th win in 8 races. This horse is an absolute flyer and nothing will stop it if it runs well. 

THE DANGER - Rope Them In - $4.20
Winning last time out should give Rope Them In and connections plenty of hope ahead of this one and it has the capacity to be firmly in the mix - at a slightly inflated price.

VALUE BET - Generosity - $9.00
Generosity is firmly in the winning habit and fresh off the back of a triumph over course and distance last time out, it should be in the running, even if the field in this one is stronger than plenty of its other efforts.
