Gosford Race 8

Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase Regional Ht 3 H

Stake: $4,337

ASCEND FERN (1) settled back off the inside but went through his gears strongly to find the frame with a 4 length third (22.89) at Richmond in Free For All. One of the leading chances. TOWERING EARL (6) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 2 lengths over 520m Wentworth Park in 30.05. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Will give a great sight again. MUSTANG ETHICS (7) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind My Pharaoh (30.35) in a Grade 5. Can do much better this time. ELECTRIC ASSENT (2) generally performs well here at this distance.

Surprised two starts back at Richmond to win by one length in 30.01, beating Dollar Keeping. Last start finished last over 520m at Richmond beaten 26 lengths (31.70) behind Zipper Day in a Grade 5 on September 16. Others make more appeal.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.35) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 13 starts. Can feature in the finish.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, looking to others this time.
