Ascot Park Race 5

ORETI BEACH RUN

Prize Money: $4,091

LET HIM LOOSE (4) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (31.00) over 525m at Addington in a Class 0 FIN. Does step out of maiden class today. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. FLAWLESS CHATTER (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (17.65) at Addington behind Classy Blazer in a Class 1. Took the lead and boxed on but run over. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings nine times from 18 attempts. Expected to feature. DIAMOND VIENNA (7) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 457m behind Princely Silver (27.05) in a Class 1/2. Faces a slight drop in class today and shapes as one to consider. CRAFTY KEEPER (5) can sneak into the finish with the right run. Predicted to run out this trip stronger than most in this field.

At the last start finished last on March 2 over 525m at Addington behind Keri Junior beaten 8 lengths (31.45) in a Class 1 H. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
