Ascot Park (G) Race 5

Prize Money: $2,909

RED WINE ROME (5) is a progressive dog who scored his 4th career win last time at Addington, scoring by 7 lengths (16.91). Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Only slight concern is he is having first look at this course but looks to have an edge on most of these. HOMEBUSH BABY (4) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (18.04) in a Class 1 H at Addington latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can turn it around this time. MITCHAM BLUE (2) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a head at Addington in a handy 17.45 beating Goodwyn. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Hit the line strong last start to win and expected to feature again. CHOSEN WITNESS (8) must be included in calculations. Failed in only attempt this course but should be better for the look.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 1 H on March 9 over 295m at Addington behind Homebush Phantom beaten 4.5 lengths (18.04). Placed two back at this track. Thereabouts at the last couple. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

Has been racing extremely well with four wins in succession. Added to the tally last start when he won easily by 7 lengths at Addington (16.91) beating Homebush Venom in a Class 1 H on March 9. Won at his only start from this box. In hot form and can take this out.
