Ascot Park Race 12

RACING AGAIN 31 MARCH PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

LORD ARROW (6) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 8 lengths into third (30.93) at Addington in a Class 2 FIN over 525m. Top chance in this line up. TUAHIWI (3) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten one length (17.21) behind Opawa Izzy at Addington. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Should be running on stronger than most and is a winning chance. BACK CHAT BAILEY (8) claimed an on-pace win two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when third at this track (23.49). Some good form is emerging from his last run. Bold showing expected. MITCHAM BLUE (4) will have admirers after placing last time out. Has been beaten by some handy pups in last couple of races.

Didn't make the placings last time at Addington (17.95) in a Class 2 H, finishing a 10 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and eight places from 18 starts. Needs it easier.

Hit the frame at Addington last time when a 7 length second but did record a convincing 17.09 over the 295m journey. Might find this too tough.
