Plumpton Race 7 - Ladies Day At Season Opener Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)
GETMYFRIEND (1) represents champion trainer Dan Skelton and looks the one to beat. Managed to build on a 3L third at this track in March when winning by 2.75L at Southwell fifteen days ago. Carries a penalty holding class to win this open race. Booking Harry Skelton is a major positive. RIVER ORE (2) rates an interesting runner from Ireland. The five-year-old was a 12L fourth debuting at Killarney fifteen days ago and may step forward with that experience under his belt. SCOTTO (3) is the pick of the newcomers for James Owen. This Sholokhov gelding is related to some smart performers. PADEL WHACKER (4) deserves a market check.

Third race start today. When well supported at debut, finished third in a small field at this track on March 16 over 3600m, 3 len behind Secret Des Lune with 69kg at $8.50. Second-up won by 2.75 len Southwell on May 11 over 3200m defeating Crystalate with 71kg at $4 in a flat. No reason she won't win again.

Jumped well supported at debut, finished sixth of 8 starters at Huntingdon on April 4 over 3200m, 24 len behind Running Happy carrying 71kg at $3.30. Can improve on that effort. Likely to appreciate the transition to jumping.

Four-year-old filly by Parish Hall out of Goolagong Girl has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having her first start today. Tough assignment at her first outing so tempted to favour others.

Four-year-old filly (Harzand - Hvasavi) making her debut. Might just need this run but watch the market.
