NZ - Ascot Park - Race 1

DANIELLISH (7) has been running on in all of her last 3 starts over a mile, and she probably should have finished closer last time out when getting to the outside of runners far too late. She is strong enough now to cope with a middle distance, and in a modest field, she is the one to beat for us. EIVAN (2) was a bold runner-up in his penultimate start over 1m, and then needed his last run when nearly a month between races. The extra 3f is ideal, and with only a fortnight gap since his most recent outing, he can bounce straight back into the money here. STROBE LIGHT (1) made the most of a change of tactics when setting the pace and holding on for his best effort yet when finishing second over 1m at Riverton nearly 2 weeks ago. Each way claims again. SUSPECT OR VICTIM (6) was in need of her last start at Ashburton, and she will be a lot sharper this time. Include in all top 4 combos. POLLY'S GURU (5) will be peaking third up from a spell over a more suitable distance. Include.
