Yarmouth Race 3 - Dan Hague, Rails Bookmaker Nursery
This looks very competitive and the market clues could be vital. CATCHING DREAMS (6) certainly isn't going to be a star amongst Charlie Appleby's ranks but he's run well on both starts to date. He shaped as though going up to 1200m would suit when third at Sandown last time and Toby Moore's 3.5kg claim is a valuable asset. There could easily be more to come from EASY ANSWER (9) who showed up well here on debut and now has the booking of Oisin Murphy. Lingfield AW (1200m) winner SPIRIT OF LYRA (5) was a good second at Salisbury last time and must be respected. SOLDIER OF THE SEA (1) cannot be ruled out.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Lingfield on July 25 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind It Dunt Marra with 60.5kg at $4. Second-up raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Sandown Park on August 6 over 1000m, 5 len behind Elevating with 60.5kg at $1.70. Racing well.
