Ascot Park Race 11

SOUTHLAND & OTAGO PHOTO FINISH PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

HOMEBUSH STUMPY (7) finished second (22.75) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th at Addington. Has a good record here at this journey. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. Should be very hard to beat this time. GOTCHA HIDE (2) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths (23.59) behind Officer Ridley at this track. Hard to beat again. HOMEBUSH ROCK (5) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.67) in a Class 4 at this track. Form here sound including six wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. MARTY BAXTER (4) is one of the chances after a surprise minor prize last time.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 295m at Addington. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, would be better placed in something easier.
