Ripon Race 6 - Kevin Kai 20Th Anniversary Handicap
PINK AZALEA (4) took a big step forward scoring by 2.5L in this handicap grade over 1600m at Carlisle. Leading player. GROUNDHOG (3) went well finishing a neck second among this company tackling 1600m at this venue. Worth including. CAPTAIN CESS (2) brings good place form following a close third in a 1600m handicap at Nottingham. Holds claims. EPICURIAN LAD (1) might feature.

Second run back. First-up after three months second last of 8 at Redcar on June 20 over 1400m, 8 len behind We've Got This carrying 58kg at $21. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at Southwell All Weather on February 12 over 1600m, 7 len behind Orangesandlemons with 58kg at $126. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.

At the latest run settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at Wolverhampton on June 30 over 2450m, 4.5 len behind Fazen carrying 53.5kg at $67. The start before that sat on the pace before fading second last of 8 at Wolverhampton on June 10 over 1900m, 5 len behind Anificas Beauty with 56kg at $81. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.
