BetBright STATZONE: Saturday ITV Racing (20th Oct 2018)

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions!

As we move into the final few weekends of the turf flat season we've another ‘crackerjack' of a card this Saturday to look forward to as it's Champions Day at Ascot.

Yes, the Berkshire track is the sole meeting being covered by the ITV cameras this weekend, but with four Group 1's a Group 2 and a competitive handicap its a card that always has a Royal Ascot feel as the best-of-the best from all ranges of trips lock horns.

We get going with the Long Distance Cup over 2m – a race that will revolve around the John Gosden-trained Stradivarius, who has been the staying cup king this season.

The Group One's get going with the Champions Sprint – a contest the James Fanshawe-trained The Tin Man landed in 2016, with Librisa Breeze winning the race last year. The Fillies & Mares Stakes and QEII Stakes are next up before we end the Group One races with the main event – the Champion Stakes. Another ‘unmissable' contest that sees the likes of Cracksman and Crystal Ocean doing battle in what looks a top renewal. The card ends with the ultra-competitive Balmoral Handicap.

So, as always, we’ve got it all covered here on STATZONE with all the key trends, plus our verdict, on each of the LIVE ITV races – we’re confident these trends will point you in the direction of a few winners, or at least help narrow down some of the field to highlight the horses that fit the best profile of past winners – So, let’s get cracking!
