Newton Abbot Race 1 - Celebrating Devon Women In Business Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

DEPALMA (3) scored by 0.75L over 4300m at this track last week after returning from a break with a strong second across 4800m at Bangor. Now produced two highly creditable efforts this campaign and switch back to fences should hold no concerns. LIMERICK LEADER (2) was beaten only 0.75L tackling 4300m at Kelso after a commanding 10L success at Sedgefield. That combination of stamina and recent consistency gives him strong claims. MUSKERRY ROCK (1) pulled up contesting 4600m at Worcester latest. Previously won by 3.5L at this track while the two narrow hurdle seconds earlier in the campaign underline his ability. Capable of bouncing back.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming finished second of 7 runners at Bangor-On-Dee on September 4 over 4800m, 3 len behind Limerick Leader carrying 72kg at $4. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 0.8 len this track on September 18 over 4300m defeating Devon Red carrying 71.5kg at $2.20 in a hurdle. Continues to make headway. In form and will take some stopping.
