Ascot Park Race 12

Merry Christmas Everyone Pbd

Prize Money: $2,545

EVEREST SKY (3) comes here off a lightning win at Addington in 16.72 over 295m. In form and looks the one to beat again. OPAWA ELEGANT (5) failed to feature last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by 2 lengths at this track (22.70) beating Homebush Delight in a Class 2 on December 4. Cannot be left out. MITCHAM ARLICA (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Addington following on from a second-place finish (22.87) at this track the start prior. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BO DUKE (1) is drawn perfectly and gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 22.72, beating Opawa Barb. Last start finished 6th in a Class 3 on December 10 over 457m at this track behind Goldstar Parker beaten 8 lengths (26.86). Major threat on best form.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5 lengths behind Diamond Scarlett over 390m. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 390m. Last start finished last over 390m at this track beaten 10 lengths (23.46) behind Diamond Scarlett in a Class 3 on December 10. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 1.3 lengths at Addington (17.03) beating Opawa Jackson in a Class 2 on December 6. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Comments

Good effort to win last start by a long neck over 390m at this track in a handy (23.02), beating Diamond Chloe. Will find this a bit tougher, happy enough to dismiss in this field.
