Best From The West: Ascot – 21st January 2023

A day of not very big fields awaits for the nine races at Ascot on the weekend.

BUZZOOM winning the Ascend Trophies - Jungle Dawn Classic
BUZZOOM winning the Ascend Trophies - Jungle Dawn Classic

Best race on the day is Race 8 where some group class horses are entered and we will land on Buzzoom as the play.

The mare took on good horses in the carnival before winning the Jungle Dawn then being close up in the Starstruck and Easingwold.

She possibly sat too close last time but W Pike is up this time around and we'll take the gamble he'll have her in the right spot.

This appears the perfect journey for the mare who deserves another win during this campaign.

The race that follows sees Sentimental Hero look to keep the good run of form going.

Second up at the mile he came from near last to draw away and while he did go up in the weights, the claim for Taj Dyson actually has him down 1kg on the win.

Suspect he'll land midfield and in a race which should have enough pace on, he can win again.

He can be a horse to keep improving through the grades.
