Chester Race 2

Virgin Bet Chester Stakes (Listed)

Stake: $120,664

TABLETALK (4) placed last start when third at York over 2800m attempting a G3. Likely to progress and warrants thought. ALSAKIB (1) returns after eleven week absence and cannot be underestimated. MINELLA RESCUE (2) finished 2.25L second in latest at Uttoxeter. Could be prominent and figure. ORCHARD KEEPER (7) is racing consistently. Produced a desperately close second at Newmarket (July) most recently and looks set for another win based on that effort.

Last start second last of 8 at Goodwood in the G2 Lillie Langtry Stakes on August 2 over 2800m, 11 len behind Waardah with 61kg at $23. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Pontefract LR Pontefract Castle Stakes June 22 over 2400m defeating Karmology carrying 58kg at $8. Hard to fault if at her best.
