Newbury Race 6 - Christopher Smith Associates Llp Hcp (Str)
LYRA LEA (7) finally scored on turf at the eighth attempt winning at Sandown Park when back down to this trip. Handicapper has not been harsh and should give a bold sight. SCUTARI (4) makes his debut for a new stable having started his career in France. Karl Burke continues the great season and this colt requires a market check providing initial handicap outing. ZATSGOOD (1) now wears a first time tongue strap and cheekpieces for just his second attempt on turf. Only beaten a head at Newcastle and is worth giving a chance. LIGHTNING POLKA (6) is yet to kick on after debuting with a triumph however holds every chance as the assessor loosens his grip.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 14 at Newcastle All Weather on July 25 over 1600m, head behind Victory Ace with 62.5kg at $4. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on July 2 over 1600m, 2 len behind The Liffey with 60kg at $2.80. Went close last time. Hard to beat on the back of that sort of form.
