Invercargill Race 5

ASCOT PARK TRICODE FACILITY PBD

Stake: $2,900

MAYFIELD WARRIOR (7) was in the minors two back (22.98) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Rates on top in this lineup. LITTLE MISS LU (8) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same box when third in a Class 1 at Addington (17.71) and making it three straight placings. This is tougher, but she looks like a leading chance again. WHITNEY BAXTER (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (17.76) in a Class 1 at Addington. Goes well out of this box with a win and 13 minor placings. One of the better chances. OLIVE TREE (4) will give backers a sight, so include in all combinations.

Didn't make the placings last time at Addington (17.76) in a Class 1, finishing a 7 length fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and 13 places from 20 starts. Has ability and should feature.

Has finished fifth at the last two runs, both at Addington, the latest when beaten 9 lengths behind Homebush Rosa over 295m. Well placed and among the chances here.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 390m at this track in a handy (23.11), beating Claws In Krypton. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (17.49) over 295m at Addington. Awkward draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Missed the frame last start when a 7 length seventh (23.61) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

At the last outing finished last on May 26 over 295m at Addington behind Homebush Jack beaten 8 lengths (18.01) in a Class 1. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.
