Big changes at Ascot

Theres good news for regular visitors to Ascot. The racecourse has announced a £10m refit programme to iron out problems stemming from its £200m redevelopment.
The move follows a review carried out after Ascot's re-opening this year which identified several areas that needed to be improved.

Among the changes will be the elevation of several areas to improve viewing, which was the main focus of criticism.

Its hoped the refit, which includes installing a temporary 2,000-seater stand, will be completed by the end of April.

Joker's Couch - 8:48 - 12/1

While the total stats for this 3 year old colt are less than impressive his recent record over fast going means he should have a decent chance of getting something out of this C division race in Canada. In his last two outings on fast, he finished in 1st and 2nd both times in full fields. Overall Jokers couch has won just twice and been placed in seven of his 23 runs earning £97 for the petong stable. The owners will be hoping fitness isnt a problem tonight as this will be the grey's third run in three days. Decent each way chance.

Come Fruta - 9:36 - 11/2

With four wins and two second placed finishes from her last six runs the warrior69 trained girl is really on a rich vein of form. Verstaile, strong and very talented shes finally complementing all those excellent attributes with consistency. In 36 runs Come Fruta has won 11 times and been placed in 17 raking in £350 for the yard. In whats sure to be a top race expect to see this girl storming to the line on the home straight.

Silver Storm - 9:48 - 38/1

Despite being at long odds this 5 year old filly has a good chance of getting something from this A and B open age race if shes lucky enough to get a good jockey. Silver Storm comes into this race in Hong Kong on the back of a fine win on soft going last Tuesday in Australia. It was the 8th win of her career which has also featured 25 placed finishes from a total of 60 races. If she can hadle any ongoing weight concerns then she really could whip up a storm.
