Fontwell Park Race 7 - Mercedes-Benz Of Chichester Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
NIMBA (1) bids for a career hat-trick after narrowly coming out on top by a head attempting a point-to-point then getting off the mark for the first time under rules gaining an impressive 7.5L victory in a Catterick jumpers flat race. Leading contender. MS DES FOIS (6) finished fifth making first racecourse appearance in a jumpers flat race at Ascot. Down in grade for this assignment. Will improve second-up. THE PERFECT POET (4) is the pick of the career debutants. Bred by Poet's Word out of four-time winner Two Swallows. Worth considering. LIGHTSOUTANDAWAY (2) is another debutant to keep an eye out for delivering initial racecourse outing. Something for the Multiples: RINE YEATS (3)

Jumped well supported at debut, raced on the pace prior to fading finished fifth of 9 starters at Ascot on February 14 over 3100m, 3 len behind Martini Majesty with 65.5kg at $3.50. Likely improver who can get off the mark.
