Ascot Park Race 2

ROYAL RODNEY STAKES

Prize Money: $5,182

BOBBY THE FOX (7) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 2nd on June 29 over 295m at Addington behind Diamond Emma beaten 2.5 lengths (17.61) in a Class 1 H. One of the contenders. HOMEBUSH TUCKER (2) filled a minor placing last start at Addington behind Nothing Formal (17.60) in a Class 1 H. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Won at his only start from this box. Expecting another good run. BACK CHAT BAILEY (5) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at Addington over 295m behind Opawa Georgia (17.90) in a Class 1 H. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. SAM SEES ALL (1) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (17.49), beaten 1.1 lengths. Should get every chance from the ace box.

Missed the frame latest (17.49) when fourth over 295m at Addington in a Class 1. Starts from box 1 for the first time here. With even luck and a clean start he should be prominent at the business end.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished seventh over 457m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
