Royal Ascot Betting Tips: Top 4 Selections For Saturday
The curtain comes down on Royal Ascot 2025 — but there’s still plenty of punting value to be had.
The Top 4 market with Bet365 remains a smart way to get involved, especially in deep handicaps and wide-open Group races.
Our three selections pay out at around 13/1 with Bet365.
The Panel's Three Top 4 Selections For Royal Ascot Day Five
- Topgear 15:40 - 13/10 Top 4 Finish With Bet365
- Best Secret 17:35 - 11/8 Top 4 Finish With Bet365
- More Thunder 17:00 - Evens Top 4 Finish With Bet365
Topgear – 15:40 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Group 1)Top 4 @ 13/10
Topgear signed off 2024 with a thumping success in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket, travelling powerfully before kicking clear like a class act.
He picked up where he left off with another impressive win in a Longchamp Group 3 last month, beating a solid yardstick in Sajir.
That run confirms he’s in the form of his life, and while this 6f trip is the shortest he’s tackled in a while, he’s shown plenty of speed to suggest it’ll be no issue.
Ground conditions are a slight unknown, but he could get the race run to suit and looks a big player for the Top 4.
Best Secret – 17:35 Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap) Top 4 @ 11/8
A lightly raced French raider who took off on handicap debut last time out at Longchamp — storming through from near-last to win by three lengths in a seriously taking performance.
That was over 10f and while officially run on good to soft, race times hinted the ground was much quicker - which bodes well for conditions here.
Now in the Wathnan silks and open to any amount of improvement, especially with this stiffer finish expected to suit.
A progressive colt with serious upside. Should go close again.
More Thunder – 17:00 Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) Top 4 @ Evens
More Thunder has quickly turned into a different animal since joining William Haggas, rattling off back-to-back wins at Newmarket over this trip - including a last-gasp strike in April where he showed a blistering turn of foot.
That form has worked out really well since, and while he’s been nudged up 6lb, the stiffer finish at Ascot should play right to his strengths.
He’s still learning the sprinting game but looks the type to keep climbing the ranks.
With the yard winning this race last year, he holds standout Top 4 claims.
Summary – Final Day Picks
Three classy performers with form, scope, and profiles to suggest they’ll be right in the thick of things:
- Topgear: Group 2 + Group 3 winner dropping in trip, high cruising speed and form to match.
- Best Secret: Devastating winner last time, rapid improver in a hot race.
- More Thunder: Sprinting on the rise, looks tailor-made for the Wokingham test.
Our three selections pay out at around 13/1 with Bet365.
