Ascot Park Race 10

SOUTHERN LIGHTS TOP CLASS RUN

Prize Money: $9,082

FAIRWAY FLYER (5) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at nine of 21 starts runs and has won two of last three, the latest winning (26.07) over 457m at this track. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Gets the squeeze box but has the early speed to avoid trouble. On top here on best form and expected to feature. GOTCHA SANTANA (6) won by 3.5 lengths last start when getting around this track 390m in a convincing 22.23. Steps up in distance but expected to feature again. MOLLY ROSE (4) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten 4.5 lengths (26.39). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Overdue and is among the main hopes. HOMEBUSH SUNNY (7) is hard to fault of late and is a strong top-three hope again.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 4.5 lengths in a Class 5 last start at this track, clocking a solid 26.07 over the 457m trip. Key player and should go well.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 22.23 last start, beating Red Wine Rome. Stick with him.

Was among the placegetters latest at Addington when a 3.5 lengths third but did clock a slick 17.24 over the 295m trip. Key runner based on recent form.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished sixth over 457m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Looks up against it this time.
