ASCOT PARK RACEWAY   23 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

REGENT CAR COURT HANDICAP TROT 2200m

Track: GOOD      

LA DAMA (1) did a good job to score a win over this distance at Gore last month and has performed well since, clocking in second last time out at Central Southland. Likely to get all the favours from the inside starting position. Top chance. SPIRITINTHESKY (6) has worked her way back into peak form, getting home by a narrow margin at Addington at her most recent appearance. Goes back 10m in the handicap but could go on with the job. FLORENCE THE MACHINE (4) usually performs well at this distance and is on the radar after her last-start fourth at Central Southland a week ago. SPELLS OF LOVE (7) is worth some thought having produced two solid efforts since placing the last time he raced here.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Kairaki Spur at Phar Lap Racecourse over 2100m in a 4yo+ on April 1 at $4.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Jaccka Ace at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m on April 16 at $2.80. May prove hard to beat.
