Ascot Park Race 3

159.2 MILLION CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

HOMEBUSH HUSK (6) box seated before sticking on well to finish 4 lengths away in second (17.43) at Addington in a Class 2 over 295m. The form out of last race has been strong. Does meet an easier field today and is capable of going well again. HOMEBUSH BENTLEY (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (17.54) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. HOMEBUSH ROB (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (17.36) at Addington behind Fifteen Requests in a Class 1 H. The form out of his last race has been franked. Doesn't win often but is always a solid chance for a minor placing. HOMEBUSH TOMMY (5) has a tricky draw but will appreciate a return to this venue and is worth including.

Won two starts back at Addington over 295m in 17.41. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 390m at this track at Class 0 level. Happy to risk this time.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (23.49) over 390m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.

Improved sharply when second behind Ripslinger Rayna at Addington last start over 295m (17.43). Looks a key chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 390m at this track beaten 3 lengths (23.63) behind Homebush Sobers in a Class 1 on March 18. Placed two back at this track. Well placed and among the chances here.
