Salisbury Race 7

Fitzdares Handicap

Prize Money: $13,837

KOTARI (1) endured a winless streak on the flat last season. Been keeping fresh with a spell back over hurdles through the spring. Connections have found a good opportunity to get his head back in front. CALSHOT SPIT (3) returns to the level for the first time since October 2024 and looks interesting on his best form with fitness assured after hurdling. LARAVIE (6) didn't improve on her flat handicap debut at Lingfield Park last week. Provides initial turf outing and no surprise to see her go close. BEGGARMAN (4) remains well exposed. Disappointing at the end of last season so more needed on his return.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last start 9th of 11 at Lingfield All Weather on March 27 over 3200m, 6 len behind The Craftymaster carrying 59kg at $15. The race before that won by a head at Wolverhampton March 2 over 3300m defeating Queensland Boy carrying 61kg at $5.50. Better than that and is capable of turning things around.

Last start 5th of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on April 27 over 3200m, 12 len behind Balgowan with 61kg at $3. The run before that second last of 10 at Wolverhampton on March 23 over 1700m, 18 len behind Estissa carrying 62kg at $101. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.
