Ripon Race 3 - 21 Engineer Regiment Sapper Nursery
STAR PEOPLE (2) bids to turn three consecutive placed efforts into a win. Last seen narrowly losing out by a nose to place second on most recent appearance in a handicap at Newcastle AW tackling this trip. Worth including. LEXINGTON BOOM (3) broke the maiden on third and latest outing scoring by 1.75L in a novice race at Beverley attempting this journey. Makes handicap debut and could double up. ROMAN CRYSTAL (4) also races first-up following a 1.75L maiden success in a 1200m maiden at Ayr previously. Still one to consider. LADY DUBLIN (1) is not ruled out after a 1.25L win at Thirsk two starts back.

Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start faded in the straight ran second last of 9 at Newmarket (July) on August 1 over 1200m, 4 len behind Havana Sprite carrying 51.5kg at $15. The race before that won by 1.3 len at Thirsk on July 24 over 1200m defeating Crystal Kraken carrying 61.5kg at $4. Has top-three claims.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on August 20 over 1000m, nose behind This Moment with 57.5kg at $2.80. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Nottingham on August 3 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Mobadir with 60kg at $5. This looks the ideal assignment.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at Beverley on August 12 over 1000m defeating Mubehir carrying 59kg at $4. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 13 at Beverley on July 28 over 1000m, 3 len behind Black Velvet Boy with 60.5kg at $3.80. Can make it two on the trot.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up ran second last of 18 at Goodwood on July 31 over 1200m, 35 len behind Revels carrying 55.5kg at $34. Second run from a spell ran last in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on August 20 over 1000m, 8 len behind This Moment with 56kg at $23. Can't recommend on that form, looking to others.

Third race start today. At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Beverley on July 4 over 1000m, 8 len behind Palm Reader carrying 59kg at $13. Second-up ran second last in a small field at this track on July 18 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Quillan with 59kg at $34. Might find this a bit too tough.
