Ascot Park Race 9

THE END OF AN ERA TOP CLASS RUN

Prize Money: $9,082

FAIRWAY FLYER (3) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in nine starts, including seven wins and two placings. Comes off a (26.10) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Class 5 over 457m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. GOTCHA SANTANA (4) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his brilliant win the start prior, getting around this track over 390m in 22.23. Has the ability and looks a key chance. MOLLY ROSE (2) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish third (26.26) at this track in a Class 5 over 457m. Hard to beat again. ANGLERS ARMS (5) scored by 0.7 lengths last time (17.00) in a Class 5 over 295m at Addington. Already a winner from this draw.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Class 5 on July 22 over 457m at this track behind Fairway Flyer beaten 2.25 lengths (26.26). Rates highly again.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.75 lengths in a Class 5 last start at this track, clocking a fast 26.10 over the 457m trip. In top form and can make it three straight.

Good effort to win last start by 0.7 lengths over 295m at Addington in a handy (17.00), beating Opawa Baxter. Can measure up again.

Was out of placings last time (26.42) at this track in a Class 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and five places from 10 starts. Might find this too tough.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 5.5 lengths fifth over 457m at this track. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
