| The three that have experience in the field at Catterick have
not achieved much. Dispol Toba ran in the second race of the Warwick
in what was a weak looking race. The winner and second have looked ok in
later runs but (Result) the 4th
has been beaten twice since (see Pontefract notes below), the 5th, 6th,
9th & 14th have been beaten in sellers and the others that have run
above seller level have competed moderately. A lesson in there about not
looking for 'Eyecatchers' all the time and about how the better types often
find a way to finish up the front whatever the conditions.
The ground at Warwick was holding and a real test for the limited fillies
that day. There is a plus for Dispol Toba in that she showed enough pace
and nous to lead early and go through halfway in third close up behind
She's A Shaw Thing & Percolator. This effort meant she blew up with
two furlongs to go and fell back through the pack. Her final finishing
position probably undersells her because if she had bumbled around in midfield
rather than mixing it with the two better fillies she would have been closer
at the end of the race. But, it would have been poor form and dropped to
a seller tells the story of what the trainer thinks of her. The plus points
are she has experience, can front run and is on an easy, downhill track.
Which means she can set a reasonable target for the others.
