Chester Race 3 - Ire Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
VELOCIRAPTOR (6) showed plenty of potential on debut recording a 3L third in a 1400m maiden at Newmarket a fortnight ago. This looks easier and improvement is expected. Top chance. SEA IDOL (4) shaped with promise both starts to date with a close second in a 1400m novice race first up at Southwell AW preceding a 1400m novice fourth at Lingfield AW earlier this month. Serious player. STORM BLADE (5) ran with credit second up producing a 5L fifth contesting a higher class 1400m novice event at Sandown three weeks back. Holds claims. KATIE'S CAVALIER (1) brings course experience and rates next best.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last of 11 at Carlisle on June 24 over 1400m, 62 len behind Mia Fantasia carrying 60.5kg at $251. Better for that run but may need more time.

Was at big odds at debut, 3rd of 7 at Newmarket (July) on July 11 over 1400m, 3 len behind Haffner with 58kg at $26. Better for that outing and looks a great chance to break through.
