Salisbury Race 1 - Clive Cox Racing British Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
FACTUAL (3) profiles well on paper being a two-year-old colt by Sioux Nation out of Drombeg Dream running for the Andrew Balding stable. Likely player. TOO DARN GOOD (5) shaped with credit first up when 2.25L fourth in a 1000m novice event at Bath eighteen days ago. Improvement expected. KESTA (1) indicated plenty of promise producing a Brighton maiden success over 1000m three starts back. Holds claims. DUBAI TIME (11) looks one to note.

Useful gelding. Most recently 6th of 9 at this track on May 24 over 1000m, 4 len behind Ardisia carrying 61kg at $7.50. The race before that 5th of 11 at Goodwood on May 2 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Havana Hurricane with 61kg at $15. Great chance to atone.

First-starter by Cable Bay out of Perfect Lady. The betting is the best pointer to her chances.
