Pontefract Race 1 - Book For Fathers Day Sunday 21St June Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
NAVAL LIGHT (2) represents notable connections. Was racing consistently with four placed efforts in five starts before finishing eighth attempting a Newmarket (Rowley) handicap on most recent appearance. Can bounce back. STONEACRE JOE (4) bids to turn two runner-up finishes into a win with a second tackling a Doncaster novice race preceding another second in a 1200m maiden at Ayr. Might go one better. VIPER (5) improved from finishing seventh on debut at Doncaster to place third contesting a Newcastle AW novice race. Expected to challenge. KING'S ROAD DANDY (1) cannot be discounted after placing third making first career appearance.

Was at big odds at debut, 4th in a small field at Southwell All Weather on May 7 over 1200m, 9 len behind Jumeirah Sands with 58kg at $34. Don't think she will trouble this field.
