ASCOT PARK RACEWAY   19 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

DIAMOND CREEK / SBSR ROBIN DUNDEE CROWN MARES MOBILE PACE 1700m

Track: GOOD      

SNAP SHOT (7) resumes from a spell after finishing seventh at her latest appearance at Central Southland Raceway on April 17. Talented and has plenty of upside. Must overcome a very wide draw. Has the class to take this out. ALWAYS A MENACE (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in second over 1950m at Rangiora. Meeting a deeper field this time but she good enough to play a major role. ZARLINI (9) should be at her peak for this. Finished third over 1980m at Addington at the latest appearance a week ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. NEK DELIGHT (8) should be at her peak at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest outing a fourth at Wingatui a week-and-a-half ago.
