Ascot Park Race 3

THE END OF 35 YEARS OF GREYHOUND RACING AT ASCOT PARK

Prize Money: $6,091

HOMEBUSH TWENTY (5) recorded his best time this course and distance last start, taking a Class 1 in 26.84 by 1.75 lengths. Not the quickest to jump so draw could be a worry but does hit the line strongly. Expected to push the clock again with luck in running. KEEPER DREAM (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Opawa Muffin (27.07) in a Class 1. Spotted a start but got home hard. Bold showing expected. IMPRESSIVE SHOCK (3) finished third (28.06) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th at Addington. Keep safe in this field. LITTLE RUSTY (1) was in the money last start here at this trip - likely to feature again from the ace box.

Ran a better race when second behind Opawa Muffin at this track last start over 457m (26.90). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Top-three hope with the right run.
