Fakenham Race 4 - Woodfordes Supports Dereham Meeting Point Handicap Chase
They could finish in race card order with SLANEY OPERA (1) holding leading claims having won in this handicap chase grade at Sedgefield (5200m) three starts back. Produced a smart 2.75L second over 4800m at Wetherby and down in standard is expected to help. Top selection. ESPERTI (2) is a proven stayer having managed a strong 2L second attempting a higher level 6100m handicap chase at Chepstow eighteen days ago. Big chance. PRINCE CLENI (3) shaped well three runs back when 9.5L second tackling a 5600m handicap chase at Stratford. Could show more in this grade. BLACKACRE (4) posted a 9.5L second trying 5200m in a Plumpton novices handicap chase last October. Not discounted.

Useful gelding. Last run finished second of 9 runners at Chepstow on March 26 over 6100m, 2 len behind Handin Manypockets carrying 66kg at $17. Start before finished fifth in a small field at Leicester on March 6 over 4500m, 14 len behind Fay Ce Que Voudras carrying 68kg at $17. Definite winning chance. Only has a small field to contend with and could prove tough to beat.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up finished fifth of 7 starters at Southwell on February 18 over 4900m, slow track; 32 len behind Bank On Frank carrying 66kg at $11. Second-up didn't finish the race at Hereford on March 18 over 5000m. Might find this a bit too tough.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation 2 in a small field at Plumpton October 20 over 5100m, 9 len behind Ken Roy with 62kg at $2.50. Previous preparation first-up won by 8 len Newton Abbot August 21 over 5170m defeating Just A Memory carrying 64.5kg at $2.50. Meets a tough field and others rate better.
