York Race 1 - Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
MEZZO FORTE (6) profiles well on paper representing a top trainer who maintains a good course record. This two-year-old colt by Wootton Bassett from Majestic Glory could go well first up. Likely player. SIROCCO SANDS (8) indicated promise both starts in Ireland managing a 4L second on debut in a 1000m soft ground Cork maiden prior to a close 2.25L fourth over 1200m at Curragh three weeks ago. Big claims. CASINO STAR (5) showed plenty of potential first up when 2.75L second contesting a 1200m maiden at Hamilton where the winner placed third in the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot last week giving a significant form boost. In the mix on second outing. SUE'S LAST CHANCE (9) brings course experience. Place hope.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Redcar June 20 over 1200m defeating Callisterra with 59kg at $1.80. The run before that 2nd of 15 at this track on June 12 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Everatease carrying 60.5kg at $10. Shapes up nicely.

At debut, ran second last of 9 at Redcar on June 20 over 1200m, 13 len behind Furturra with 59kg at $15. Don't think he will trouble this field.
