Pontefract Race 2 - Safe Point Sprint Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
Training partnership of John and Sean Quinn won this with a debutant last year. Their horse ALBERT MOONEY (1) is a full sibling to a G2-winning two-year-old. Bold bid anticipated. WHAT A GIRL WANTS (6) provides the eighth attempt at winning a race having placed among Listed company and running at Royal Ascot. Now with her third trainer and adopting a hood for them last time ran third. Return to 1200m could be welcome. OUR SON OSCAR (2) made a promising start when third on debut over course and distance. Consider. UBETTANOTBLINK (3) was hampered coming out of the stalls on debut. Gelded since and absent 149 days. From a family of multiple winners at sprint trips and ridden by a leading jockey at the track this season might out perform odds.

Two-year-old gelding by Mehmas out of Shoshoni Wind having his first start. Should play a role in the finish.
