Newmarket Race 5 - Betfred 'Nifty 50' Handicap
GOLDEN REDEMPTION (7) brings a consistent profile. Produced a solid 2L third in a lower level handicap over this distance at Kempton AW five weeks ago. Holds ability for this grade. Serious player. ELARAK (1) won among this handicap company over course and distance on final outing last year before a good 1.5L fourth in a 1400m conditions race at Thirsk three weeks ago. Rates highly. SHAH (5) was last seen nineteen months ago winning by 4L a 1400m novice race at Southwell AW. Interesting making comeback run. LEADMAN (6) won on the July course here last year and is proven in this level. Rates next best.
