Ascot Park Race 5

GREYHOUNDS - THE MOST REGULATED DOG IN NZ

Prize Money: $5,455

OPAWA LEO (5) was below best at his last start when 7th at Addington following a win (30.34) there two back. Won at his only start from this box. Disappointing run last start but is much better than that effort. Tough to beat if on-song. TEARS FLOWING (7) was in the money again last start when third at Addington (30.69). Will be better for having had a run on this track prior. Can turn it around this time. IMPRESSIVE SHOCK (4) finds it hard to win. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (26.91) at this track. Solid record here winning seven races. Can measure up. DEVIL DELIA (6) will run well despite no experience on this track. Has been hitting the line strongly in her last couple of runs.

Ran a better race when second behind Keeper Dream at this track last start over 457m (26.91). Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Addington over 525m. Last start finished 7th over 525m at Addington beaten 20 lengths (31.86) behind Opawa Emily in a Class 2/3 on May 22. Won at his only start from this draw. Well worth another chance.
