Race 5 : Golden Dawn. She lost her form after developing a breathing problem. She is now way down in the ratings, and her two runs on the poly in PE were not too bad. She is reportedly working nicely, and her breathing is sounding better in work. From a nice draw, she could pop up here at long odds. Not one to be confident of, but worth putting into the exotics, as this is a very open contest, and she may well be better on the turf. The handicapper may now have caught up with Starlight Beauty. Lupin ran well behind a couple of smart sorts in Cape Town lately, while Silvan Spirit is well weighted here if not needing the run after a break. National Forest is a bit inconsistent, but has a chance with the 4kg claim. La Salle is also well in at the weights if overcoming the wide draw. The list of possible winners does not stop there, and this might be a Field leg for the P6.
Selection (with more hope than confidence) : Golden Dawn/ Lupin/ La Salle/ Silvan Spirit
Race 8:Call of the Hunt. She has run two fair races over further since relocating to PE, and she is a big runner here despite the drop in distance. She has been working well, and this is not the strongest of Novice fields.
Endearment is distance suited, and has comparable CT form, but has a very wide draw to contend with. Sartorius won comfortably last start, and could easily improve on that. She looks the main danger. Come Play has sprinted well on the poly lately, and with the 4kg claim could be a danger if suited to the trip. Kirkby Ninja has been below best , although running against much stronger, and the 5 lb MR drop may bring her into the picture.
Selection (with some confidence) Call of the Hunt / Sartorius/ Endearment/Come Play
