Ripon Race 8 - Thank You To Our Groundstaff Hcp (Gbbplus Race)

TALISMANS TIME (2) failed to quite live up to market expectations when fourth at Carlisle (2800m) last month. Has dropped below his last winning mark. Should have the ability to be better than this field. ZIMMERMAN (4) saw his winning spree curtailed at three last time when a 3L fourth at Chester (2900m, heavy) last weekend. In fine heart so an obvious candidate. TARBAT NESS (3) recorded a comfortable success at Carlisle in July over 3400m. Came home 0.5L down at Newcastle earlier this month. Possible threat. SAX APPEAL (1) is not one to rely on at present. On the balance of his form he looks capable of reaching a place.

Second run back. First-up after two months 4th of 7 at Musselburgh on September 12 over 3600m, 8 len behind Boxing Great carrying 64.5kg at $17. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Chelmsford on November 9 2024 over 2700m, 2 len behind Dashing Panther with 63kg at $5. Better than the last run suggests and can do better.
