Pontefract Race 6 - Napoleons Casino Bradford Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
SOMETHING (2) is racing consistently with one win and four placed efforts last five starts including finishing runner-up contesting a handicap at Catterick a fortnight ago. Secured a victory in that sequence at Ripon during May and may go one better. DIVISION DAY (3) was racing well with three wins and a runner-up effort attempting the flat before finishing a below par fifth in a handicap at York. Wears first time cheekpieces and set to bounce back. ANZAC DAY (1) failed to place six most recent appearances. Missed out on the placings finishing fourth in the course and distance Pontefract Cup Handicap. Will be thereabouts.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 45 day letup. First-up 5th of 10 at Worcester on May 22 over 3200m, 22 len behind L'amalric carrying 71.5kg at $11. Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on June 21 over 3600m, 6 len behind Secret Force with 59.5kg at $13. Still likely to struggle despite the size of the field.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Catterick on July 22 over 2400m, 1.75 len behind Explode with 61.5kg at $6.50. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Ripon on June 17 over 2400m, 6 len behind Raulin with 59.5kg at $4. Worth plenty of thought.

Last start 5th of 9 at York on July 11 over 3300m, 6 len behind Cruden with 53kg at $11. The run before that 4th of 8 at Worcester on June 17 over 3200m, 11 len behind Media Mogul with 69.5kg at $1.90. Capable of a lot more so it will be no surprise to see him back in form here.
