Chepstow Race 3 - Bet365 Hcp
ESCAPE MAGIC (5) opened her account in a 1400m Leicester handicap by 1L and remains lightly raced with scope for further improvement. Drop to 1200m is the question however she sets the standard. KEN BRULEE (6) finished third over course and distance last time and had LUNA BEAUX (3) behind so looks a genuine threat representing the main danger while the other mentioned disappointed as favourite in that same Chepstow contest however her earlier Wolverhampton second gives her claims and makes appeal. MUSICAL SOLDIER (4) was well held attempting 1600m at Bath. This distance winner could improve back sprinting. Not discounted.

Second run back. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after six months won by 1.0 len at Leicester May 26 over 1400m defeating Zoulette with 58.5kg at $10. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on November 19 over 1200m, 8 len behind One And Gone with 56kg at $41. Heading the right way and should measure up again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on June 27 over 1200m, 8 len behind Hallandale Beach carrying 55kg at $8. The run before that ran last in a small field at Lingfield on June 18 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Bridget's Baby with 59kg at $4. One of the main hopes.
