Pontefract Race 5 - Moor Top Farm Shop Hemsworth Pontefract Cup Hcp (Gbbplus Race)

SECRET FORCE (4) performed with credit in two starts for current stable including when third beaten 1.5L attempting an amateur rider's race at York (2400m) in latest. Visor applied. Not proven at the trip but rates an intriguing chance. TROJAN SOLDIER (3) will take some stopping in search of a fourth consecutive victory. Successful here last time over 3400m. Likely danger. TREASURE ISLANDS (6) remains unexposed. Progressing nicely lately since switching to handicaps. This test could suit. SAX APPEAL (1) must lift from recent efforts. Now returns to last winning mark however and will take some pegging back if allowed rope on the front.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 13 at Thirsk on May 31 over 3200m, 3.5 len behind Mountain Road with 53.5kg at $23. Before that 2nd in a small field at Haydock Park on May 21 over 3200m, slow going 6 len behind Torcello carrying 61kg at $4. One of the chances.
