Winton Race 3 - ROBERT & JANICE AUSTIN MBL PACE
LUXMI (8) was a neck away in second at Ascot Park Raceway over 1700m last start at her first run back from a spell. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position, but she good enough to take this out. AMARULA FRANCO (6) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 2.5 metres. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SUPERFAST (10) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 2000m at Oamaru. RAHASI (7) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway two runs back. Stick with him on an each-way basis.

Improved showing in her Ascot 6th from this draw. Just rough claims.
