Haydock Park Race 5

Every Race Live On Racing Tv Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $19,926

Debut Newmarket winner BRIGHT TIMES AHEAD (1) disappointed on seasonal return when tenth attempting the 1400m G3 Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury during April. Improvement expected after a break. Top selection. MERAPI (4) showed promise first up running 2.5L fourth contesting a 1400m maiden at Ffos Las a month ago. Open to plenty of progress. Makes appeal. FORTY YEARS ON (2) was off the mark at the second attempt scoring by 1.5L a 1400m novice race at Doncaster during March. Interesting. BINTKEND (3) is a filly by Wootton Bassett. Looks one to note.

Resuming after a four months break. Finished off last campaign winning by 1.5 len Doncaster March 30 over 1400m defeating Recency Bias carrying 58kg at $15. On debut third of 10 at Chelmsford March 13 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Hey Boo with 57kg at $7. Well placed to pick up where she left off.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Three-year-old filly by Wootton Bassett out of Sizzling having her first start. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.

Was at big odds at debut, 4th of 11 at Ffos Las on June 22 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Arctic Dawn carrying 58kg at $26. Big chance with that race experience to prove invaluable.

At debut, made ground from midfield; 4th of 13 at Ffos Las on July 9 over 1600m, 9 len behind High Degree carrying 58kg at $10. Improver who can sneak into the finish.
