Pontefract Race 4 - Pontefract Castle Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Listed) (Gbbplus Race)
SANTORINI STAR (7) bids for a hat-trick following victories at Brighton and Goodwood with the latter by 1.5L. Hails from a leading yard. Consider. KARMOLOGY (4) is down in class after finishing fifth attempting the G2 Middleton Stakes at the York Dante Festival a month ago. Placed second two runs back in the Listed Nottinghamshire Oaks. Respect. MERIBELLA (5) was third on seasonal reappearance in a handicap at Goodwood behind the top pick. May reverse placings. ALLONSY (1) finished fourth in the Bronte Cup last time. Possibilities.
