Ascot Park Race 12

THIS IS THE SOUTHLAND GREYHOUND RACING CLUB SIGNING OFF PBD

Prize Money: $5,455

LOT OF NERVE (7) has a strong record this journey with five wins and a minor from seven starts. Recorded a half a length win (22.91) in a Class 3 last time at this track. Slow starts hinder but with a clear run does run home powerfully. Looks suited here and rates on top. BIG DIVOT (2) goes very well this trip starting six times for two wins and two minors. Hit the frame latest (22.93) when third at this track in a Class 3/4. Looks a key chance on best figures. TEARS FLOWING (3) stretches out further in journey and is having his first try at the trip. Boasts a strong winning strike-rate from this box. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. HOMEBUSH HARRY (8) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out. Mapped to show speed and get a clear run first bend.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.94) in a Class 3/4, finishing a 1.5 lengths fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Solid performance to win by half a length at this track over 390m (22.91) beating No Show Sam in Class 3 on July 22. Won at his only start from this draw. Looks the one to beat.
