Chepstow Race 5 - UB40 Live After Racing 24Th July Handicap
THANOS (1) scored an overdue maiden triumph last time getting home by 6L over 1400m at Lingfield. Shaping nicely and rates a key runner. ALICE'S INFLUENCE (4) was a narrow winner by a nose at Wetherby two back then second at Bath last time. Drops a little in the weights holding sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three attempts. Could prove tough to beat. MOOJ (3) was never in contention resuming last start tackling 1200m at Windsor running 9L ninth. Anticipated to be competitive. VIOLET GOLDSMITH (5) is a four-start maiden who finished eleventh returning from a spell trying 1600m at Southwell All Weather. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation seventh of 10 at Chelmsford March 12 over 1400m, 12 len behind Denver Doll carrying 58kg at $151. Previously first up; sixth of 8 at Southwell All Weather February 28 over 1400m, 7 len behind Padraig Dawn carrying 52kg at $101. Doubt she will have much to offer first up.
