Avidus (gold and white colours) upset the odds to win last year's final contest at Ascot Racecourse

Punting Form race reports Saturday 19 January

Avidus was the shock winner of the last Ascot Racecourse event run in 2018 and there is no logical reason why the Steele Casey-trained gallopers cannot make it back-to-back wins at the venue when he contests Saturday's Penfolds Handicap.

 

Paying 73.40 and 16.40 on TABtouch's win and place tote respectively and contributing to a main quaddie dividend of 169,705.90, Avidus broke the hearts of many ATA Stakes Day punters at Ascot Racecourse with his TABtouch - Better Your Bet Handicap victory three weeks ago. Saturday's Penfolds Handicap does not look any harder, Avidus put up a Punting Form personal best performance last time out and, as Casey told Brittany Taylor after the TABtouch - Better Your Bet Handicap, his galloper did not deserve to be such long odds off his trial.
