Uttoxeter Race 5

Quinnbet Daily Free Bet Handicap Hurdle

Prize Money: $22,140

DOUBLE OBAN (3) finished second over 3200m at Wetherby then produced a commanding performance last time scoring by 5.5L over 3100m at Leicester. Looks very hard to beat if replicating that form. JOHN BARBOUR (1) improved to score by 0.5L tackling 4000m at this track last time. Cannot be overlooked. MAMMIES BOY (6) returns after a break following a stable switch. Brings ability to the race and could be prominent throughout. FRESH SPECULATION (5) won over 4100m at Leicester two starts ago. Followed up with another success by 1.3L over 4000m at Ffos Las. Sure to be getting involved on this occasion.

Recent form hard to fault. Resumes off a 38 day letup. Last outing won by 0.5 len this track on December 31 over 4000m defeating Woodland Park carrying 75kg at $2.90 in a hurdle. Race before finished second of 9 starters at Leicester on November 30 over 4100m, slow track; 3 len behind Fresh Speculation carrying 75.5kg at $6.50. He has an excellent record at this venue and can easily do the job again.

Impressive in recent runs. Freshened for 41 days. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed to post a big 5.5 len win. Leicester on December 28 over 3100m on rain affected going defeating Bingoo carrying 70kg at $3.30 in a hurdle. The run before finished second in a small field at Wetherby on December 6 over 3200m, on slow going 0.5 len behind Chase A Fortune with 75kg at $2.80. He has an excellent record at this venue and is worth following up here.

Having second run back today. Freshened for 49 days. First-up after a year made ground from midfield; finished third of 8 starters at Hereford on December 20 over 3900m, on slow going 3 len behind Came From Nowhere carrying 69kg at $10. Previously second-up won by 2.75 len this track on December 10 2024 over 3170m on rain affected going defeating The Grafter with 75kg at $7.50 in a hurdle. Requires further improvement.
