Ascot Park Race 1 - CRUICKSHANK PRYDE MDN
SWIFT THINKER (6) First up from a spell of 28 weeks. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Riverton and having second career run. Has plenty of early speed. Drawn beautifully. Is in good order and can run well. TORCHEM (2) Finished 8th last run at Wingatui. Should improve from the last run. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. LEAVITT (8) Super Seth 3yo trained by Len Stewart & Lacy Stewart having first race appearance. Follow the money. RUPENI (3) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Didn't attack the line when 10th last start at Te Rapa. Change in trainer. Solid each way claims.

Set a strong tempo before fading at the finish to place 2nd last time at Phar Lap Raceway and was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

At $4.00 came in 8th last run at Wingatui. Should improve from the last run. One of the punters top hopes.

Racing fresh today after a break. Odds of $31.00 and struggled with the pace when 10th last start at Te Rapa. First race for a new trainer. Not at all out of this race.

At $19.00 below expectations when 11th last run at Wingatui. Should be going forward early. Will be tested.

Was $26.00 and below par performance when 9th last run at Phar Lap Raceway but fitter for debut run. Does take a while to get into stride. Watch betting.
