Ripon Race 7 - Jozef White Last Day Of Freedom Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
WALKING ON STARS (10) remains unexposed over this journey. Beaten 3.25L into second at 2400m at Southwell latest 23 days ago. Should go one better now tackling a new surface. KOALA ROSE (8) has looked a touch frustrating. In the frame for the fifth occasion when third in a 3200m handicap at Newmarket latest. This represents her best opportunity yet. Respected. NESWICK (9) has finished in the minor placings on each of her three starts to date. Capable of a challenge in this company. WADACRE ICON (6) and CHICO DORADO (2) both shaped with promise first time up behind an impressive winner at Carlisle (2200m) latest. Check the market.

Second-up. First start ran last of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on December 17 over 1600m, 28 len behind Spirit Of Athene carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 7 at Lingfield All Weather on August 25 over 2000m, 8 len behind Floating Market with 59.5kg at $26. No easier this time and not likely to threaten.

First-starter by Starman out of Roseisarose. The betting is the best pointer to his chances.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 2nd of 12 at Carlisle on September 9 over 2200m, 8 len behind Harper Violet with 60.5kg at $81. Shows ability and expected to improve. Should come on following that outing and looks set to break the maiden status.
