Catterick Bridge Race 1 - Racing To School Nursery
MICK'S THE BOY (2) takes narrow preference moving into handicaps for the first occasion. Finished fifth at Ayr providing final maiden start a month ago. Headgear applied and could make the desired improvement. AURA OF MELANIA (3) holds form coming home by 2L in a similar event at course and distance three weeks ago. Should make another bold bid. CHEEKY CHESCA (5) remains a maiden from ten outings. Was another 1.25L away when third in the aforementioned contest and filled that same placing attempting a novice since. Frame claims. MORIARTY MOON (1) continues in the early days among open company. Could get involved if new visor helps.

Racing well recently. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 13 at Beverley on August 30 over 1000m, in the wet; 4 len behind Pivotal Voyage with 58kg at $9. The run before that 3rd of 8 at this track on August 17 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Harry's Pop carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. Must come into consideration over this longer journey.
