Ffos Las Race 5 - Golwg Gwendraeth 'Confined' Hcp
This looks a nice opportunity for JOHN HARRISON (5) who produced back-to-back thirds including latest when raised to 2000m in a Class Five Newmarket handicap. Given chances for a breakthrough this time and back to a more suitable trip rates a leading player. THE STONE POWER (3) was pulled up most recently. Might bounce back as his previous 1.25L Wolverhampton Class Five handicap fourth was better. ROYAL BODYGUARD (4) is another to note. Provided a decent effort when 5.75L fourth contesting a 1600m Newmarket Class Five handicap. BRAVE NEW WORLD (6) attempts handicaps for the first time. Finds a suitable race. Key chance.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 11 at Windsor on July 13 over 1600m, 8 len behind Levens Hall carrying 59kg at $201. The run before that 6th of 8 at this track on June 30 over 1600m, 7 len behind Dark Whisper with 60kg at $67. Rates highly and can break through if at his best.

Comes here off a 54-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 10 at Newmarket (July) on June 19 over 1600m, 6 len behind Phantom Watch with 61kg at $13. The race before that ran second last of 7 at Lingfield on June 6 over 1800m, on a slow track; 19 len behind Fans Favourite with 61kg at $5. Certainly worth another chance.
