Ffos Las Race 8 - Dragonbet Real People, Real Bookmakers Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
GIANTSGRAVE (3) makes his racecourse debut for a respected trainer and jockey combination. Placed 5.5L second on sole point-to-point start. Well-supported. DOUGLAS HYDE (1) was a good 1.75L second first start in a Bangor-on-Dee jumpers' flat event. Represents a local yard. Not discounted. LOCH NA KEAL (4) is having his first career start for a stable in good form. Eye-catching being by Westerner out of a four-time raced mare. Worth keeping an eye on the market. NEXT TWIST (5) can improve from a Sandown fourth.

This Kamsin bred gelding is now five-year-old and his having his first race start. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start finished fourth of 10 starters at Sandown Park 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C4) on November 10 over 3200m, 16 len behind Hurricane Pat carrying 71kg at $13. Definite chance. Likely to appreciate the transition to jumping.

Resuming from a lengthy break. At only start last campaign finished fourth of 10 starters at Southwell 4-5yo MFLAT (C5) on May 14 over 3200m, 9 len behind J J Moon with 66.5kg at $9.50. Would have to improve sharply to feature in the finish.
