Ascot Park Race 5

THE END OF OUR BEAUTIFUL SAND TRACK PBD

Prize Money: $5,182

WHO YOU HELPING (6) missed the frame last time when fourth (17.64) at Addington but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has ability and is a key runner. GOTCHA HIDE (3) sprung the lids and on speed throughout before being run over late when fourth (23.01) at this track over 390m. Yet to win here but has run some good races. In the mix. HOMEBUSH SIMBA (8) was always prominent from this same draw last time and boxed on well to place (26.56) in a Class 2/3 over 457m at this track. Can measure up. GOTHAMS KING (2) longer straight at this venue will suit and cannot be underestimated.
