Ascot Park Race 9

TOP CLASS DASH PBD

Prize Money: $5,227

FIFTEEN REQUESTS (4) won again in quick time after tracking the lead to bring up four wins in succession at Addington over 295m (16.96). Yet to miss the placings in five runs from this box, including three wins. Very promising pup who looks to have an edge on most of these. MASTER WOODS (5) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Last start placegetter over 295m at Addington in a Class 4/5 (17.32). Hard to go past form at this journey, unbeaten in two runs. Expected to feature. BELLWOOD (8) brought up his 11th career win last start at this track (22.46). Is yet to taste defeat at this course and distance. Has won three of five starts from this draw. Faces a much tougher field today but is capable of going well again. GOTCHA SANTANA (2) has strong claims after a top-three finish in good time last time out. Doesn't jump the quickest but runs home powerfully.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting four wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 1.3 lengths at Addington (16.96) beating Skeletor in a Class 4 on June 11. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Was among the placegetters latest at Addington when a 2 length third but did clock a head turning 17.03 over the 295m journey. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Strong performance to score by 3 lengths in a Class 4 last start at this track, clocking an excellent 22.46 for the 390m trip. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
