Carlisle Race 7

Pricedup Pushes Handicap

Prize Money: $14,760

DISTINCTION (5) provided a 1.75L victory on most recent appearance at Pontefract last week. Carries a penalty for that success. Can double up. SWIFT SALIAN (1) was also a good 1.25L winner in latest at Hamilton Park on the back of a neck second at Thirsk. Dangerous. POET'S DAWN (4) recorded runner-up finishes at Redcar and Ripon with the latter by 0.5L. Holds winning course and distance form. Warrants close consideration. WE STILL BELIEVE (10) cannot be dismissed after placing second behind the top pick at Pontefract. May reverse placings.

At the latest run 6th of 11 at this track on May 29 over 1800m, 11 len behind The King's Falcon carrying 64.5kg at $101. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 14 at Ayr on April 28 over 1600m, 5 len behind Rosemary May with 63.5kg at $17. Good enough to turn things around.
