APRIL 27th SUMMING UP
|
A similar story to many races this season whereby the lack of any runners
with strong previous runs leads to an open race on profile.
Ryedale Ovation appears to be the best of those with previous runs but
does not set a standard that a good newcomer could not beat.
In a race with a wide range of abilities the higher priced colts plus Roonah
seem to provide the best alternative to Ryedale Ovation. Glasshoughton
has the most solid profile of that group.

RACE QUALITY:
|
The race used to be run as a Class E Auction but is now Class 5. The race
previously usually saw a performance between 62 to 72 to win. Runners with
previous experience usually fill the places.
The majority of later winners behind will be rated less than 70 in the
season although occasionally beaten higher weights can be slightly better
class winners.

TRAINERS:
|
M Wallace made a good start to his training career in 2003 and had
a good group of 2yos. He got three FTO winners in the season including
two in May with useful types. However, he does not target strong debut
runs and only the useful types normally win FTO. He had a less good 2004
because of a less good group of 2yos.
In 2005 he has had three debut runners and only one was competitive - Getbuzzin.
He made his debut at Kempton but had previously been declared for a race
here which was abandoned. The trainer's record at the course is 2 wins,
a second and a fourth place from four runs. The two debut runs have been
a useful winner and a fourth by a claimer level runner.
