Ascot Park Race 7

LUMSDEN FOUR SQUARE HCP PACE

Prize Money: -

DREAMS ARE FREE (7) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2600m at Oamaru, beaten 5 metres. Finds a nice race and can grab a well-deserved win. BETTOR WAY (4) finished fifth last start over 2700m at Gore Raceway, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a return to the winner's list. TUA LIPA (3) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, when coming home well from the turn to finish third at Gore Raceway over 2700m. RAKAMURPH (6) disappointed last time when sixth over 2700m at Gore Raceway. Can do a lot better so is well worth considering.
