Ascot Park (G) Race 6

ORETI BEACH RUN

Prize Money: $4,091

RIPSLINGER NESTA (6) ran good time (31.14) when placing two back at Addington but missed the frame latest in a Class 1 FIN at Addington. Raced in a strong field last start and wasn't disgraced. Likely to improve sharply this time. CRAFTY KEEPER (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (26.48) at this track behind Let Him Loose in a Class 1. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Leading chance. HOMEBUSH ROMILLY (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (17.65) in a Class 1 H at Addington. Key runner on best form. EXTRA GRAVY (3) is new to this track but should be in the mix. Races as though the extra distance today should suit.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Addington, the latest when beaten 7 lengths behind Opawa Connor over 295m. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (17.72) at Addington in a Class 1. Will jump from box 3 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start she should be prominent at the business end.

Was strongly supported last time but ran below expectations when fifth over 525m at Addington in 31.87. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 525m at Addington beaten 9 lengths (31.31) behind Keri Junior in a Class 1 FIN on March 9. Placed two back at Addington. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings two times. Key chance on best form.

Improved sharply when second behind Let Him Loose at this track last start over 457m (26.48). Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.
