Ludlow Race 2

Birthday Bonanza Mares' Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $18,450

SAINTE DOCTOR (1) bids for a hat-trick following a narrow victory in a similar level 4500m handicap chase at Sedgefield. Leading player. REGAL RENAISSANCE (2) showed plenty of ability when 9L second over course and distance. Rates highly. Five-time career winner TRAPISTA (4) maintains winning form here. Could show more after pulling up during January at Wetherby. Worth a market check. HAPPY D'EX (3) can fill fourth spot.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up finished sixth of 8 starters at this track on February 19 over 4000m, 46 len behind Sacre Coeur carrying 70kg at $81. Last start ran last in a small field at Warwick on March 9 over 3250m, 46 len behind Lime Drop with 73kg at $9.50. Comes into this in ordinary form. Despite the good recent form run rates a place chance only against this line-up.
