Pontefract Race 2 - Pontefract Racecourse For Racing, Dining & Events Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
MUHAAJIM (3) shaped promisingly placing at Windsor last month. Set to get off the mark here with the longer trip on offer likely to suit. TWILIGHT SAFARI (5) delivered a creditable fifth of twelve effort over the distance on Chepstow debut. Open to plenty on improvement second-up. INVINCIBLE SHADOW (2) and DIVISION DAY (1) both appear well held and are best watched unless either are subject to any significant market moves.

Second-up. First start ran last of 11 at Newcastle All Weather on October 3 over 1600m, 37 len behind Tornado Alert carrying 60.5kg at $201. Returned from break sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Beverley on May 24 over 2420m, 19 len behind Tarriance with 56.5kg at $201. Can't see him turning things around.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at Windsor on June 9 over 1630m, 3 len behind Accentuate with 60.5kg at $8. The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Southwell All Weather on April 27 over 1600m, 6 len behind Dixieland Blues carrying 59kg at $4.50. Has upside and expected to run very well.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 5th of 12 at Chepstow on May 30 over 2000m, 9 len behind Rogue Millions carrying 58kg at $41. One of the main chances.
