Ascot Park Race 9

REMEMBERING JAMIE SEARLE

Prize Money: $7,182

GOTCHA KANE (5) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 26.07 to score two back then following on with a 25.86 win over 457m at this track. Clocking fast times and looks a key chance again here. DALGETY (2) recorded a win over the 525m at Addington in a slick 30.18 last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance. PRIORITY (4) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 1.5 lengths away in second (25.97) behind GOTCHA KANE at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from seven starts. Must be included in calculations. JAY WALKER (1) placed last time out at this track and distance - worth considering.

Impressive performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a R/A last start at Addington, clocking a slick 30.18 over the 525m trip. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 1.5 lengths second but did clock an excellent 25.97 over the 457m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Recorded the fastest time on the card after running them ragged recording back-to-back wins at this track over 457m (25.86). Makes strong appeal on recent runs.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at Addington. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
