Ripon Race 3

Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Hcp

Prize Money: $16,605

PRECIOUS SPARTAN (8) remains unbeaten in three visits to this venue which all came last summer tackling the 1600m trip. Now creeping below last winning rating and sure to be ready for this. Strong fancy. GLORIOUS KITTY (2) arrives in great condition. Landed successive victories at Ayr (1600m) and Carlisle (1400m) before being defeated on soft ground latest. This frontrunner might take some beating. UP THE JAZZ (3) narrowly won at Musselburgh attempting this journey a fortnight ago. Not the most reliable however is in the mix. POPEYE DOYLE (5) found a competitive event last start. Should have a better chance at this level.
