Ascot Park Race 7

SCARY CANARY ORETI BEACH RUN

Prize Money: $6,364

OPAWA PAULA (3) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fourth (17.57) at Addington over 295m. Can discover winning form. ENDER DRAGON (2) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at Addington over 295m behind Norrisa Jewel (18.08) in a Class 1. Races as though the extra distance will suit and is a leading chance. HOMEBUSH TWENTY (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (26.95) last time in a Class 1 at Manawatu. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. HOMEBUSH WARDEN (6) placed last time out so worth considering. Predicted to be amongst the leaders first bend.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (17.77) over 295m at Addington. Is a danger.
