Newton Abbot Race 3 - Hugh Michelmore Memorial Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

TIME TO BITE (2) enjoys the venue and been performing well for a sustained period now. Scored nicely at Fakenham earlier in the month. Looks primed to run a huge race. RICKETY BRIDGE (5) returned to winning ways making chase debut here three weeks ago. Will have more to come and and warrants respect racing for a stable going well. Dan Skelton rarely disappoints these days and SNIPE (1) will appreciate this drop in grade having run a good race finishing sixth attempting the Aintree Foxhunters Chase. Rates highly. MORODER (4) has had a fine career and retains his ability having finished second at Taunton.

First-up. Finished off last preparation 4 in a small field at Carlisle March 8 over 4900m, 24 len behind Tommy's Oscar carrying 71kg at $8. First up last campaign 5 of 9 runners at Sandown Park January 3 over 4800m, 7 len behind Nocte Volatus carrying 72.5kg at $17. Needs more time. Looks safely held this tougher line-up fresh.

Run before finished fourth in a small field at Ascot on March 29 over 4200m, 62 len behind Sherborne carrying 76kg at $13. Impressed last start. One of the better chances.
