Ascot Park Race 12

RACING AGAIN 13 MAY PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

GOTCHA SUNNY (3) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 25 from 47 starts. Finished third (22.97) at this track last time making it two minors on end. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings 10 times from 15 attempts. Overdue and gets her chance. DIAMOND ARCHIE (4) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Addington but was a Class 1 winner two back at Addington. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. RIPSLINGER DELTA (2) brought up her 5th career win last start at Addington (17.26). Strike rate this course and distance strong having won three of six tries. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Should be in this for a long way. IMPRESSIVE SHOCK (6) can sneak into the finish at decent each-way value.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Addington over 295m in 17.26 last start, beating Homebush Stumpy. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Addington over 295m. Last start finished 4th on May 1 over 295m at Addington behind Go Milton beaten 3 lengths (17.41) in a Class 2. Better than that and worth following up.
