Ascot Park Race 4

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENISE GARTHWAITE PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

PORK CHOP (8) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (17.81), beaten a head. Loves a wide draw and extra distance should be right up his alley today. Sure to be about the mark. ELITE OREO (4) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Addington over 295m behind Ripslinger Nesta (18.37) in a Class 1. Showed good box manners last start but then was squeezed out first bend. Key player if she can avoid trouble today. HOMEBUSH MIA (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (18.21) in a Class 1 at Addington. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. OLIVE TREE (5) hard dog to bet with confidence but in this field is capable of filling a top-three spot.
