Ascot Park Race 10

ASCOT FRUIT MARKET CHERRY RUN PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

RIPSLINGER LYNX (2) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (22.61) behind Boss On Top at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can measure up this time. CLAWS IN KRYPTON (4) did a good job to finish second last time out over 295m at Addington (17.19) in a Class 3, the second top-three finish on the trot. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MITCHAM JULIAN (6) missed the frame last time when fourth (17.72) at Addington but prior to that had two placings in a row. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. RUNAWAY ME (7) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. Did race against higher class last start.

Comments

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2 lengths in a Class 2 at Addington and clocking an outstanding 17.11 for the 295m trip. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 390m. Not far away last start. Didn't show up last start but give her another chance.

In the money last time at Addington (17.19) in a Class 3, finishing a 3 length second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Right in this.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on February 27 over 295m at Addington behind Diamond Clay beaten 10 lengths (17.72) in a Class 3. Placed two back at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
