Redcar Race 3 - Celebrate The Life Of Joe Newton Handicap
GAELIC APPROACH (1) managed to build on a creditable 0.5L second making seasonal return at Wolverhampton to open his account when a comfortable 1.75L winner at Leicester. Finished 13L clear of third when runner-up in a three-runner affair at Hamilton providing latest and rates a major player now attempting the longer journey. WICKSEY (2) rattled off a quickfire hat-trick under Andrew Mullen in February. Down field returning from a three-month break at York twelve-days-ago. Dangerous to dismiss second-up off an unchanged mark. FAIRYDALE (3) is unplaced in six outings to date. Best watched unless subject to significant market support.

Second-up. First-up after seven months ran last in a small field at this track on April 30 over 2000m, 19 len behind King Of Berkshire with 55kg at $29. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Ripon on August 16 over 1600m, 19 len behind Suspended Sentence carrying 57kg at $17. Still early in the prep and might need more time.
