Ascot Park Race 3 - G J GARDNER HOMES MOBILE PACE
SHIVER IN THE DARK (1) lines up for the first time. By Rock N Roll Heaven and hails from the B R Shirley stable. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and will be ready to run a big race. FRANCO SEB (2) is a four-year-old gelding from the Craig Ferguson stable on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and has the right credentials to play a major role. DREAM STREET (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2200m at Gore Raceway last time out. Top-three candidate. THE BRICKLAYER (5) finished third over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway last start at his first racetrack appearance. Strips fitter and can play a role.
