Newton Abbot Race 6

Newton Abbot On Course Bookmakers Novices' Handicap Chase

Stake: $20,110

MY GIRL KATIE (1) opened her chase account with a comfortable 5L win over course and distance last month. Added to her tally securing a 9L victory at Stratford in latest. Major player. BLACKACRE (4) was able to keep on well shedding the maiden tag succeeding here nine-days-ago. In the mix again. TESTFLIGHT (3) holds winning form at the track. This model of consistency races for the Sue Gardner stable. Feared. MINI FORTUNE (5) might secure a placing.

Freshened for 57 days. Last run made ground from midfield; finished fifth of 9 runners at this track on July 4 over 5200m, 22 len behind My Girl Katie with 70.5kg at $5.50. The run before finished fifth of 7 starters at Ffos Las on June 5 over 4800m, 14 len behind Puddlesinthepark carrying 71kg at $4. This looks too tough.

Recent form hard to fault. Last run finished second of 10 starters at this track on August 21 over 5300m, 7 len behind Faded Fantasy with 63kg at $5. Start before favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len this track on July 20 over 5200m defeating My Girl Katie carrying 63kg at $5 in a steeplechase. Cannot be underestimated.

Second-up today. Not raced for 45 days. First-up after three months finished third of 10 starters at Uttoxeter on July 16 over 5200m, 6 len behind Deadly Missile carrying 65.5kg at $7. Previously second-up finished fourth in a small field at Hereford on February 23 over 3250m, slow track; 64 len behind Crying Lightning with 72.5kg at $34. Nice chance with added fitness.
