Hereford Race 1

Dragonbet Supporting British Racing Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Stake: $23,313

In a small-field contest WILLIETHEBUILDER (1) rates highest having finished fourth tackling track and trip on penultimate outing. Leading contender representing a prominent yard. CHESTNUT PETE (3) was narrowly defeated 2.5L third over 4200m at this venue in latest. Boasts one win from two starts attempting the journey here. Warrants close consideration. CENTARA (2) holds claims with the application of a first-time tongue-tie. Not to be discounted.

Impressive in recent runs. Last start finished third of 7 starters at this track on April 22 over 4200m, 2.5 len behind Jimmyjeroo with 75kg at $3.50. Before that won by 11 len this track on March 26 over 3200m defeating Iskar D'airy with 75kg at $15 in a steeplechase. Rates well. Chance on his best form.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
