Ripon Race 2

Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $18,450

GRASMERE BOY (1) aims to turn two runner-up finishes into a win after losing out by a neck on debut at Newcastle AW then filling the same spot in a maiden at Catterick. May go one better. KILFRUSH DESERT (5) placed third providing first career appearance in a novice race at Beverley before losing out by 0.5L finishing runner-up in a maiden at Newcastle AW during April. Expected to challenge. MASAI ANGEL (4) missed the frame when fourth on most recent appearance tackling a maiden at Newcastle AW behind the second pick. Might reverse placings. LIKEADYINWASP (3) cannot be discounted bringing most racecourse experience in this field.

Third race start. First start 8th of 13 at Newbury on August 28 over 1300m, 24 len behind Into The Sky with 60.5kg at $8.50. Went for a spell before returning ran second last of 10 at Doncaster on May 16 over 1200m, 13 len behind The Untamed carrying 59kg at $51. Fitter but looks a forlorn hope.
