Ripon Race 6 - Ripon Theatre Festival 5th - 12th July Hcp
ZIGGY'S AVENGER (1) left behind three disappointing efforts to record a career best delivering initial handicap outing placing third at Kempton Park AW a fortnight ago. Expected to challenge. PARODA DIVA (3) left behind five disappointing efforts to win a 1600m handicap at Haydock Park providing latest outing twelve days ago scoring by 1.75L. May gain a double. COBALT COMET (8) makes some attraction towards bottom of the weights. Aims to turn two placed efforts into a win after running third in handicaps at Southwell AW and Carlisle. Will be thereabouts. TALKING IN KODE (6) cannot be discounted making handicap debut following a second at Beverley.
