Invercargill Race 1

ASCOT PARK TRICODE FACILITY PBD

Stake: $3,100

MITCHAM JORDAN (3) finished in the minor money five on end before opening winning account with a deserved win last time, scoring at Addington over 295m (17.36). Running out nominations in maiden company and is a great chance again. MITCHAM BLUE (2) led all the way last time out to score by 1.3 lengths (17.40) at Addington in a Class 0 H over 295m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Stays in maiden class and expected to feature again. DIAZ (7) was well in the market last time but only managed sixth (17.95), beaten 4.5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Struggles to get elusive win but always goes an honest race. Cannot be underestimated. CALVIN JEWEL (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing. Having first start around this circuit.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 295m at Addington by 2.75 lengths in a Class 0 H. Form reads well for this.

Improved sharply when second behind Snickers Vikkers at Addington last start over 295m (17.79). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 295m at Addington. Hard to recommend.
