Ascot Park Race 1
2 Mandala
Probably doesn't quite hold some of the prestige of many of the stablemates, but Mandala is a really good bread and butter horse for the Stonewall team. Has been racing well in Canterbury and finds a pretty suitable option here today from a good draw.
Selections: 2-9-4-10-1
Ascot Park Race 2
3 Ten Da Touch
A lot to like in the recent form of Ten Da Touch and it is surely only a matter of time until another victory some his way. Really strong chance of that being today with a very even field of rivals and a good draw to work from. Doesn't win out of turn, but definitely deserves one.
Selections: 3-4-2-1-6
Ascot Park Race 3
1 Share A Dream
Last found up at Addington taking on the very much in form CC Arden, Share A Dream should find life a little easier here today. High speed horse and has a great barrier draw to work from which should have him right in play from the outset.
Selections: 1-4-8-3-2
Ascot Park Race 4
5 Ultimate Gladiator
Canterbury raider Ultimate Gladiator sneaks down to the deep south in search of a bit of winning form and there's been enough in some of the career to date to suggest that he's more than capable of taking this race by the horns and making it his own.
Selections: 5-6-1-12-9
Ascot Park Race 5
7 To The Moon And Back
There's two scenarios that could play out here. To The Moon And Back trots away, finds a forward position and wins this for fun, or To The Moon And Back gets away slowly and has to charge home and try and win from the back. The first option is obviously a little more ideal for punters and let's hope that is what happens.
Selections: 7-9-13-12-15
Ascot Park Race 6
3 Goorambat Art
Really handy runs of late from Goorambat Art and they've been good enough to suggest he's a really strong winning hope here, especially from the good draw. A positive drive early should find the spot and from there will be right in the fight.
Selections: 3-4-9-10-5
Ascot Park Race 7
3 Emily
Running great races in behind some of the better trotting mares in the deep south of late, Emily gets her chance to drop the bridesmaid tag today and become the bride. She's been fantastic and her exemplary manners make her a great each way play whenever she lines up.
Selections: 3-9-7-11-10
Ascot Park Race 8
6 Duchess Of Kent
Tip of The Day
One of the real exciting Southland products at the moment, Duchess Of Kent will shoot for three wins in a row today and everything she's done in her two runs back would suggest she's right on track for it too. Too good for most of these rivals last time, so looking for a repeat.
Selections: 6-7-8-11-12
Ascot Park Race 9
1 Always B Bootie
We didn't think Always B Bootie would be too far away last time out and it proved to be correct. Gets into a potentially easier assignment here and comes up with the same draw to work from so clearly has to be the top selection again.
Selections: 1-6-11-9-2
Ascot Park Race 10
10 Tact Teena
Another Canterbury raider from the Mark Jones team. She's been great up the road over the past couple of months, knocking around in some very good fields and running consistent races. Bit of work to do from the second row but with any luck should deliver.
Selections: 10-8-9-7-5
