NZH - Ascot Park Raceway - Race 10

PARTYTIME (6) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1 ³/16m at Addington. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. IDEAL CROWN (3) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing 3.5 metres away in second over 1 ?m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. It doesn't get any easier but she is fitter for that last hit-out and capable of making her presence felt. BELUGA (8) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by half a metre at Gore Raceway over 1 ?m. BLAZE LIGHTENING (7) last appeared when ninth over 1 ?m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep.
