Hamilton Park Race 3 - Alex Mcwilliams Memorial Celebrations Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
MY MATE ROGER (3) finished second on four consecutive starts and was beaten 6L over 2000m at Doncaster providing latest outing. First-time cheekpieces and a return to 1600m are positives. Leading contender. TEST RUN (4) stayed on from the rear when 7.25L fourth trying 1600m at Doncaster debuting. Might progress despite a 306-day absence. Major player. MATTER OF BRITAIN (2) is a Victor Ludorum newcomer representing David O'Meara and Daniel Tudhope. The combination won this race last year. Makes appeal. AL FUJAIRAH (5) showed inexperience when 10.25L fourth tackling 1800m at this track as a newcomer. Dropping to 1600m could suit. Cannot be discounted.

Went for a break before returning ran last in a small field at Carlisle on July 9 over 1600m, 33 len behind Wid with 63kg at $201. Expect he'll find this too tough.

Three-year-old gelding by Victor Ludorum out of Queen Of Camelot having his first start. Must be kept safe.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Doncaster on June 5 over 2000m, 6 len behind Harmonics carrying 59kg at $1.70. The run before that 2nd of 13 at Windsor on May 11 over 2000m, head behind Fighter's Spirit carrying 57.5kg at $5. Well placed. Fleet-footed type who is expected to take some catching.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when 4th of 10 at Doncaster on September 13 over 1600m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Pathein carrying 59kg at $81. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Was at long odds at debut, 6th of 8 at Ayr on June 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Thistle Nil carrying 56kg at $41. Won't find this any easier so she looks fully tested.
