Races CR Northam

Returns from a lengthy spell after a plain Ascot NMW1Y run where he finished last, beaten over 12 lengths, and was unable to make any impression after a messy start. The previous run was much better, a soft-track win at this venue over 1600m from Covert Rose. Prior win at this venue helps, but the 1400m record leaves him with work to do.

Had excuses in stronger Saturday company at Ascot last start, racing wide before finishing second last in a BM66+, beaten just over six lengths. His prior BM72+ run at Belmont Park was also wide throughout and better than the finishing position reads. Proven at 1400m, but the draw keeps him to an each-way chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with two heavy defeats, most recently last in a BM66+ at Ascot when well beaten by 23 lengths at long odds. He did trial at Belmont Park a few weeks ago and has won twice around 1400m, but the race form has to be rebuilt. Others appeal more.

Returns from a lengthy spell with two trials to prepare him, and his last campaign contained a strong Open win at Belmont before he finished ninth in the Listed J.C. Roberts Stakes at Ascot. That stakes run was too hard late, but the overall profile is sound for a lightly raced gelding. Two trials help, but the untried 1400m keeps him in the place mix.

Made it two wins from two runs this campaign when scoring by a nose at this track, rolling over the top of Cheyne Bay as favourite despite covering ground. He had won by a long neck at this venue the run prior, again finishing best, and now reaches the right stage third-up. Third-up, proven at the trip and clearly the one to beat.

Had every chance when sixth behind Show The Way at this track last start, settling prominently before fading to be beaten just under six lengths. Her Belmont Park run first-up was also plain, though it came in NMW1Y grade and she made some late ground from well back. A place hope with improvement.

Worked home solidly first-up at Bunbury over 1100m, finishing fourth in a NMW1Y and beaten two and a half lengths after settling back. Her earlier Ascot third in Class 3 company on soft ground reads well for this grade, and she has never missed a place in three runs at this track. Pike back aboard and she looks a strong danger.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 11th in Saturday company at Belmont Park, beaten just over four lengths in a 1 Metro Win at long odds. That was not a poor margin, and her fourth in the same grade on soft ground two back was a sound guide for this easier assignment. Handles soft ground and rates a serious chance.

Scratched.

Returns from a lengthy spell with two trials behind him, but the closing stages of last campaign were plain. He was second last at Narrogin in BM72+ grade, beaten just over nine lengths, after covering ground and making no late impression at Dongara. A sharp lift is required.

Has been out of form this campaign, finishing tenth at Ascot last start in NMW1Y grade after giving away a big start and only working through the line fairly. The start prior was no better in a 1 Metro Win on soft ground, when he raced wide and was beaten just over eight lengths. The easier company helps, but he must improve sharply to threaten.

Picked up nicely from the back when fourth at Kalgoorlie in NMW grade last start, beaten a length and a half despite being hampered late. Her previous BM66+ run over 1600m was disappointing when she raced keenly and finished last. Strong jockey record keeps her in the place mix despite an uneven profile.
