Ascot Tips for 12.10.2022
The Colac Gold Cup is scheduled for 5pm on Friday. (Getty)
Colac racing takes place on Friday, February 6, with a nine-race program set down for Colac racetrack.

Here are our best bets from the meeting, which also features in our daily tips.

Race 1 No.11- Una Gentle


Going with Una Gentle to finally break the maiden in the opener. The 10-start Maiden has come close since switching back to the 1100m at her past two starts, leading and looking to be the winner at Colac two starts back before going down in the final stride. At her most recent run, she tackled the same trip at Moe and was again run down late in what was a good effort, going 1.7 lengths slower than standard benchmark, which is a better figure than what any other runner in this race has produced. She draws barrier 11 for this but has plenty of early speed and will slide across to lead in what looks to be a weak affair. This shapes as her day. 

Race 4 No.2- Cachink


Nice race with some handy types in action in a BenchMark 66. Cachink has a touch of class in relation to some of these and should be ready to produce at his fourth run back from a spell. He was a tad unlucky at the Caulfield Heath two starts ago when checked out of it, finishing a two-length 8th behind Enchanted Jenni, then overraced when 3rd behind Brung King at Warrnambool at his most recent start, fading late off a hot tempo. The winner out of that then went on the claim the Koroit Cup. The Matthew Williams-trained galloper comes in with five weeks in between runs and should enjoy a nice trail from barrier 1 with Brad Rawiler in the saddle. That trainer/jockey combination return a 75% profit on investment. 

Race 5 No.4- Brandjam


Brandjam can get the job done in Race 5. The Glen Thompson-trained galloper looks to be the leader in this affair and comes to a country setting after just going down late behind Alero at Sandown over the 1300m at his most recent start. He went at a strong tempo in that race- seven lengths faster than standard until the 600m and stuck on well to go more than four lengths faster overall. That will top the son of Alabama Express off nicely for this at his fourth run and he is the one that they have to run down. 

Race 7 No.7- Active Duty


Going with Active Duty in the Colac Cup. The five-year-old is yet to win over the trip in three attempts but has finished runner-up in all of those, including a last start effort at Caulfield when Suntora scorched past at the business end. Active Duty had done a bit of the hard yakka up in front that day was entitled to tire but held off the rest of the field. He should be better for his second run over the 2000m this time in and draws to enjoy a perfect trailing spot from barrier 4 with Dean Yendall in the saddle.
