Wetherby Race 7 - Royal Pigeon Association Handicap
PRETTY SPIRITED (8) showed plenty of improvement earlier this month managing a close second at a big price contesting a 1600m Southwell AW handicap. Respect as set to confirm that form line. CUDA BEEN A ROWLEX (11) produced a career best scoring by a neck in this handicap class tackling 2000m at Redcar. Big chance. ZAPPATA (13) holds claims following a 0.75L second in a 1600m handicap at Yarmouth on Tuesday. Looks one to note. WEST KIRBY (3) rates next best.

Second run back. First-up after six months second last of 12 at Newcastle All Weather on March 29 over 1400m, 24 len behind La Botte carrying 57.5kg at $251. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Pontefract on September 26 over 1200m, 21 len behind Dark Rosa with 60.5kg at $101. That run was a bit plain so prefer him later on.
