Ascot Park Race 5

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE HAYES PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

FLYING FEATHER (8) promising type who notched his 3rd career success when too good (17.05) at Addington last time. Tends to go well off this box draw. Comes into this race fresh today but did have a solo trial (17.15) at Addington over 295m. Has not been out of the money at this venue. IMPRESSIVE SHOCK (5) was a strong winner (17.40) from box 2 last time, scoring by 2 lengths at Addington. Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. Leading player again. DIAMOND ARCHIE (7) had a low draw last time over 295m at Addington but was in traffic and fell. Draws out wide today which should allow a more clearer run. Looks suited here and worth another try. ULTRA INSTINCT (4) is in form and must include among the chances. Odds will be appealing.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fourth in 23.26 over 390m at this track. Has an inside draw again here. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Scored by 3 lengths last time (17.32) in a Class 2 over 295m at Addington. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and three places from six starts. Looks one of the chances.
