Market Rasen Race 2 - Geoff Handley's Grand 80Th Handicap Chase

EL MUCHACHO (2) will only have a small field to contend with here and maintaining fair form at this level for a sustained period can return to winning ways. LIVANO BELLO (1) pulled up at Perth two weeks ago and remains a maiden. Placed on seven of his thirteen attempts under rules and may give a bold sight. PLAY BY THE RULES (4) was brought down at Hexham earlier in the month. Brings a patchy record and was declared a non-runner at the weekend. More is needed. GET A SUPERSTAR (3) remains lightly raced in recent times. Entitled to improve for this outing and any market confidence should be noted.

Last outing pulled up at Perth on May 13 over 4000m. Run before finished second of 7 starters at Fakenham on April 6 over 4000m, 1.75 len behind Painted Wolf carrying 68kg at $6.50. Worth another chance and is worth including.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last run finished second of 7 runners at this track on May 8 over 4300m, 4.5 len behind Lone Soldier carrying 71.5kg at $11. Run before finished third of 10 starters at Newcastle on March 31 over 4000m, 1.5 len behind Ceolwulf with 75kg at $15. Sure to improve again. Looks a key chance.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Having raced just once last campaign finished seventh of 11 runners at Sedgefield on November 6 over 4200m, 16 len behind El Muchacho carrying 71kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 12 runners at Worcester on August 21 2024 over 4000m, 6 len behind Barrons Land carrying 72.5kg at $5.50. Would need to improve sharply.

Third-up today. First-up finished fifth of 10 runners at Newcastle on March 31 over 4000m, 15 len behind Ceolwulf carrying 66kg at $4. Second-up didn't finish the race at Hexham on May 2 over 4000m. Looks to have the job ahead.
