Ascot Park Race 7 - CUP DAY FRIDAY 18TH DECEMBER MBL PACE
LUXMI (3) Nice run when 2nd last run at Winton and promising career start. Driver Mark Hurrell(J) riding for trainer Darren Keast command respect. A win wouldn't surprise. FRANCO NEWARK (1) Nice run when 3rd last start at Winton and has drawn to do little work. Well placed and has solid claims. CHEER UP N DANCE (5) Threw down a serious challenge last run at Ashburton but back to more ground. Winning hope. JACCKA HENRY (9) Narrowly beaten last time at Winton but can save some energy from the draw. Must be considered.
