Ripon Race 4 - Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Nursery
PAPER VIEW (2) can score again. Showed major improvement when off the mark on the fourth try in a 1200m Nottingham maiden nine days ago. Goes into handicaps now and likely has much more to offer. Leading player. HARLEY (1) also switches from novice company. Gelded following a 6.75L third in a 1200m Redcar novice thirty seven days ago and expect better among this company. ELEVEN EIGHTY TWO (3) produced back-to-back seconds. Latest was a 0.75L effort over course and distance attempting a novice. Solid contender. EMPIRE RISING (4) has also been gelded. Decent prospect chance if improving on a 1.75L fourth tackling 1100m in a Bath novice.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 11 at Bath on July 1 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Theheatison carrying 60kg at $5.50. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Salisbury on June 9 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Undiscovered with 60.5kg at $21. Sure to be thereabouts.
