Salisbury Race 3

Sorvio Insurance Brokers Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $16,605

MERAPI (8) ran well second up last month recording a 1.5L third in a 1600m novice event at Haydock. Open to further progress. Serious player. ASPULL (1) made a winning debut over 1400m here prior to a good third in a 1400m novice race at Leicester. Main danger. ASIAN JOURNEY (2) confirmed debut promise when runner-up tackling a 1600m novice contest at Newmarket. Makes appeal. SLIPPER TIME (6) looks one to note.

Raced twice to date. At debut, favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track July 12 over 1400m defeating Palio Di Siena with 59kg at $7.50. Second-up held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Leicester on July 30 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Release The Storm carrying 62kg at $1.70. Coming along nicely and can measure up.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, 3rd of 9 at this track on June 10 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Revelance with 59kg at $29. Second-up raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Lingfield on August 2 over 1400m, 4 len behind Zabeel Alkabeir with 59.5kg at $2. Further improvement in store and deserves consideration.
