Ascot Park Harness Race 1
9 Ah Dinnae Ken
First up runners into the Craig Ferguson barn usually capture punter attention and Ah Dinnae Ken is no different. A steady diet of trials and workouts to prepare for the first up assignment for the new barn look to have the well tried trotter primed and ready to run the form around. 30m handicap shouldn't be an impose and looks a leading chance in a wide open field.

Ascot Park Harness Race 2
1 Ultimate Mach
Huge performance at Winton after doing a power of work by Ultimate Mach to hold on for fourth. Looks a progressive enough horse who with a huge swing in barrier draws here today should be able to punch out and be a major player from the outset. Tougher than he is quick so best suited on the speed.
Selections: 1-5-6-7-10

Ascot Park Harness Race 3
3 Wild East
It has been a gradual build up but Wild East looks set to start finally realising his ability. The third at Winton behind Always Dreaming looks great form given he came out and won again last Friday and with a good draw to use should be on the speed and keeping them honest from the outset. Has always looked a nice horse and might be ready to show it.
Selections: 3-4-5-6-7

Ascot Park Harness Race 4
6 Foveaux Gambler
A return to the standing start is a big key to the chances of Foveaux Gambler today. Thrives on facing the tape and thrives on a good tempo, both of which look on offer here. Great run during Cup Week for sixth in a field much stronger than this and anything close to a repeat of that will have him right in contention today.
Selections: 6-7-3-9-2

Ascot Park Harness Race 5
7 Always On Sale
It might have been a maiden field, but the demolition job of Always On Sale last time out suggests a horse on the up and one who will have no problems stepping up into the next grade. Free-rolling type who, if allowed his own terms up on the top end, will take all sorts of beating, especially if in front turning for home.
Selections: 7-3-1-8-9

Ascot Park Harness Race 6
1 Bettor Be Quick
Tip of The Day
The less said about last week's issues at the start the better for Bettor Be Quick. Just put a line through that and move on. Best horse in this race by a wee way and if able to hold up from the inside draw and lead throughout it is going to take a good performance to get the better of her.
Selections: 1-3-6-5-7

Ascot Park Harness Race 7
3 Better Be Watching
After losing form there for a while, Better Be Watching looks to have return right back to it and in style. Great runs in the last three performances and anything close to that would be good enough to win this nine times out of 10. Just can't afford to get too far out of the ground early.
Selections: 3-6-11-14-12

Ascot Park Harness Race 8
14 Missile
There's a big handicap to overcome but Missile's effort at Timaru on Sunday was encouraging. Beaten by a pretty sharp one in Bounce And Beyond and found the line with a lot of purpose. Needs to get handy though and that might be tough off the 30m handicap unless they just keep rolling forward. Best horse in the race and if near enough should win.
Selections: 14-5-11-1-13

Ascot Park Harness Race 9
9 Ward Lamon
There's a huge each way price on offer for Ward Lamon here which given the nature of the victory seems odd. Might end up getting a really nice trip on the markers here and if the speed is on in front of him can wind up late in the piece and get a huge slice of the pie in a very even field.
