Ascot Park Extra Race 1

Otatara Stakes

Prize Money: $5,412

OPAWA HUGO (5) comes here off a scintillating win at Ascot Park in 25.62 over 457m. Has the ability and looks hard to top. OPAWA SUSAN (6) was in winning form two back (30.19) at Addington but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Likely to be about the money. GOLD DOUG (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins and a placing from five tries. In the money last time at Addington (30.27) in a Class 5, finishing a 0.7 lengths second. Among the main chances. WHO'S JEALOUS (3) was placed two runs ago and then again was in the money last time when second (25.83) at Ascot Park in a Class 5. Stick with him.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 520m at Addington beaten 0.7 lengths (30.27) behind Goldstar Mila in a Class 5 on June 20. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 457m at Ascot Park. Hard to envisage a win.
