There is no doubt about the main attraction from Ascot on Saturday 9th December, as the Northerly Stakes takes centre stage once more.
Group 1 racing remains the biggest draw in Australia, and it is a real coup for Ascot to continue to hold its own on the national calendar with races such as this.
Ran over 1800m, the Northerly Stakes is a renowned Group 1 contest, and it looks to be all about British flyer Zaaki in 2023.

There are a few horses that could challenge here but Zaaki should prevail, if it can find its stride.
Tip: Zaaki to win the race @ $2.60 (Bet365).
