Ascot Park Race 12

RACING AGAIN 25 FEBRUARY PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

ROUND OF BUCKS (3) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when second (23.07) in a Class 1 at this track. Recent racing at Addington and will appreciate a return to this venue. Can make amends this time. HOMEBUSH LEO (8) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from the winner Runaway Me in second (23.14) at this track. Can feature again. HOMEBUSH BABY (2) can keep up the top recent form following a speedy 17.22 win two back with a Class 1 victory at this track over 390m in 22.83. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. SIDELINE SASHA (5) missed the frame latest but ran a speedy 17.22. One of the chances here at lucrative odds.
