Pontefract Race 1

Wakefield Thornes Cricket Club Nursery

Prize Money: $11,992

POPPY FOXY (1) broke the maiden contesting a selling race at Chester scoring by 1L. Failed to follow up when fifth in a novice race at Salisbury last week and quickly turned out while markedly down in grade rates a major player. BLACK CUILLIN (6) missed the frame both career starts to date finishing fourth both times at this venue including over course and distance in latest. Likely thereabouts. CLARET AND BLUES (2) placed third in a Southwell AW novice race on penultimate start before finishing sixth at Chester last month. Might bounce back. SPIRIT OF MARY (8) makes some attraction from bottom of the weights.

At the latest run 5th of 11 at Salisbury on June 30 over 1200m, 4 len behind Treasurer with 56.5kg at $17. The start before that came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Chester June 13 over 1400m defeating Dream On Kent carrying 56.5kg at $4.30. Useful type and worth another chance.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at this track on April 29 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Innichen carrying 58kg at $34. Second-up 4th of 11 at this track on June 8 over 1200m, 7 len behind Fern Clyde with 56.5kg at $12. Well suited here and is sure to take plenty of stopping.
