Selected odds by:
Off the mark at the third time of asking in a similar race to this over C&D. Tackling this trip for the first time on that occasion and looks likely to run well under a penalty today.
Dropping in trip when winning over 6f in a novice contest at Newcastle last time out. Drops in trip again today and interesting to see how he fares in this contest.
Well held on both starts as a two-year-old and absent since finishing eight over an extended 6f at Doncaster (good-to-firm) in July. Probably best watched at present.
Fair efforts in two novice contests over 6f so far and should appreciate this drop in trip having finished behind Meerpat when the pair met over 6f at Newcastle recently.
Held in both appearances so far most recently when fourth of six behind Grandfather Tomo ver C&D earlier this month. Likely to be playing a minor role today.
Forecasts
Grandfather Tom (8/13), Meerpat (4/1), Marietta Robusti (5/1), Purple Dragon (14/1), Sandytown (16/1)
GRANDFATHER TOM sets the standard on form and he can register his second career success by taking this five runner novice contest. The selection won a similar race over C&D last time out and looks capable of getting the better of Marietta Robusti who should appreciate this drop in trip and with that in mind she can reverse form with Meerpat from their running at Newcastle earlier this month.
- Grandfather Tom
- Marietta Robusti
- Meerpat
