Ascot Park Race 1

SOUTHERN LIGHTS WELCOME PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

NOTHING FORMAL (8) is in top form, scoring by 3.5 lengths (17.35) over 295m at Addington and making it back to back wins. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Backing up quickly after winning on Monday and looks the one to beat. MITCHAM LAUREN (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (17.79) in a Class 1 H at Addington. Had a wide draw last run and better suited to a low draw today. Likely to be about the money. HOMEBUSH BABY (4) was in the minors two back (17.53) at Addington but ran below best last time at Wanganui, finishing 6th. Will appreciate a return to this venue and must be included in calculations. HOMEBUSH BENTLEY (3) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again. Getting on in years but still racing honestly.
