Ascot Park Race 7

ADRIAN WOHLERS EQUINE CHIROPRACTOR PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

LORD ARROW (6) has a strong record this journey with three wins and a minor from five starts. Was out of placings last time (30.80) at Addington in a Class 3, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. HOMEBUSH STUMPY (5) unwanted in betting but showed good early dash and led until late, finishing second and beaten a nose (17.27) at Addington in a Class 2 over 295m. Will give a great sight again. BERNIE LOU (7) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from five starts. Hit the frame latest (17.31) when second at Addington in a Class 3. Looks a key chance on best figures. EARLY CROW EVANS (4) was well-backed but didn't perform as expected last time – will appreciate a return down south to this venue and can atone.

Was out of placings last time (17.61) at Addington in a Class 3, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Makes appeal on best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 390m. Last start finished 6th over 525m at Addington beaten 5.5 lengths (30.80) behind Adobe Videl in a Class 3 on April 30. Tipped to improve sharply. Keep safe.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.95) over 390m at this track. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
