Thirsk Race 4

Sky Bet Super Weekend Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $19,926

RAULIN (1) improved second-up to get off the mark with a comfortable 3L Redcar triumph earlier in the month. Consider stepping up in distance. ARKINTHESTARS (5) also opened her account last time with an easy 8L victory from the front at Ripon and looks capable of further progress attempting the longer journey. HALLELUJAH U (3) and EDGE OFTHE UNKNOWN (2) both share similar profiles and hold solid place chances adopting first-time cheekpieces.

Useful type. Last start favourite; scored a big 8 len win at Ripon April 26 over 1970m defeating Rommie The Miracle with 56.5kg at $2.80. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Beverley on April 16 over 1700m, neck behind Wilhelmina carrying 58kg at $6.50. Worth following up.
