Ascot Park Race 10

Top Class Run

Prize Money: $5,454

STUCK THROTTLE (3) could finish only among the minors last time (26.17) at this track, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end. Goes well from this draw. On top here on best form and expected to feature. LET HIM COOK (5) boasts a strong record this course with six wins and six minors from 14 tries. Below best last time at this track (26.21) in a Class 5 H, finishing a 5-length fourth. Among the main chances. GOLDSTAR MURPHY (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (26.23) from Box 3 at this track over 457m. Has the ability and can measure up, especially from the perfect inside box draw. WHO'S JEALOUS (8) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Won two starts back over 295m at Addington. Last start he finished 5th over 457m at this track beaten 5 lengths (26.23) behind Boldly Go in a Class 5 H on December 10. Draw likely to suit. Brought a two-start winning streak to an end last time when he missing the frame. Worth another try.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy (22.70), beating Bethany Jewel. Will find this a bit tougher, in form but prefer to watch this time.
