Beverley 27th June
By UK Flat / AW (Northern)
NORTH - Beverley 4.45 + 5.20 (2 Divisions of a 10 furlong Handicap for 3 year Olds - Class 6
I'm basically looking at Pedigree for this trip, any signs of experience at the trip or further already, or indications of staying on at a mile and although most will have Sprint form, any suggestions of some that may not yet have raced to full potential taking all of the above into account. There is a bit of afternoon rain forecast, probably make it a bit slippery but I doubt too much of a Going change.
4.45 -: Brabusach ran in the tip race at Chepstow yesterday, stayed on late to pip one of our selections, IF he runs here would be a danger but its a fair old turnaround in terms of time spent in a hot wagon, so I'm happy to oppose it. I'm not convinced about Red Fort either.
The one that most stands out and passes scrutiny is BAILAR CONTIGO who should be happier on this Course, its drawn in Stall 3 so should get a nice position early and has some pace form on the AW off a mark of 52 and runs off 49 here/ At big Odds for some shrapnel , it's always hard to by-pass David Allen riding for Tim Easterby and although HAPPY DANCER has no for at all at face value, it does drop in trip and has faded from this sort of distance a few times in races over significantly further. IF they can get the fractions right and run prominently it may just take some pegging back and could run a place at least.
5.20 -: Ski Jump is the obvious one if you want a punt on it but I am happy to oppose it. Lincoln Rockstar should be very competitive at this trip off this sort of mark but may just need the run after moving Stables and off a 266 day break, hard to discount though and added to TRACKER.
The only one that really stands out for me and I'd be very disappointed if not placing at least is STELIOS who has pulled hard a few times over 12 furlongs but has shown enough to suggest that the drop to this trip may be ideal and very little else can be viewed with any degree of enthusiasm.
