Stratford Avon Race 6 - Dragonbet The Roar Before Daily Faller Insurance 'Junior' Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
GOLIATH FLIGHT (5) might have enough to make a successful racecourse debut for top connections. Finds a modest enough race. Top selection. RED METAL (1) must shoulder a penalty for a 2.5L victory at Hereford in December. Saddle slipped subsequently so can be forgiven that reversal. Good opportunity to bounce back. BANNERDOWN (3) is partnered by Sean Bowen on debut. Stable not noted for winners in these races however did strike with past two flat runners. FRENATI (7) and MONSIEUR FERNAND (6) represent handlers who are no strangers to success in this sphere. Both must improve for their respective debut efforts.

Racing second-up. Showed plenty of promise winning at debut came from midfield and won by 2.5 len Hereford on December 20 over 3200m slow track defeating Plan De Stan carrying 71kg at $9. Went for a break before returning pulled up at Kempton Park on February 21 over 3200m. Fitter and will prove hard to beat.

Four-year-old gelding by Planteur out of Midnight Air has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Tough test at his first appearance so prefer to see.

Four-year-old gelding by Jack Hobbs out of Act Now has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Was at very long odds at debut, finished 11th of 13 runners at Kempton Park on February 21 over 3200m, 38 len behind Fine Shot with 66kg at $67. Hard to recommend after that first run.

Four-year-old gelding (Goliath Du Berlais - Elly Flight) making his debut. Likely to be well fancied.

Resuming after a break; at only start last campaign finished 11th of 12 runners at Hereford on December 20 over 3200m, slow track; 43 len behind Red Metal with 71kg at $29. Have to look elsewhere on the back of that.

Resuming after a break; only had one start last when she was finished eighth of 10 starters at Doncaster on November 29 over 3300m, slow track; 41 len behind The Procrastinator carrying 66kg at $9.50. Should improve.
