Ascot Park Race 9 - TOP CLASS DASH PBD
GETTING CLOSER (6) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in seven starts, including four wins and three placings. Scored by one length last time (22.98) in a Class 4 over 390m at this track. Rises to the top grade today but still looks a leading chance. SMOKING IVAN (4) impressed when posting a scintillating 16.89 over 295m at Addington three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Expected to feature on best figures. Has good box manners to feature early. MITCHAM BLAKE (2) took advantage of a low draw and quickly found the front, hanging on for a minor placing and beaten 3 lengths (22.99) at this track in a Class 5 over 390m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to feature again. HADWIN BALE (8) has a solid strike rate from this box. Expected to get a clear run and should be finishing strong.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 4 length third at Addington but did record an outstanding 16.95 over the 295m journey. Suited here and likely to run well.

Missed the frame latest (17.37) when sixth over 295m at Addington in a Class 5 FIN. Goes very well off the draw boasting eight wins and four places from 19 starts. Major threat on best form.
