Cartmel Race 5

Go Green Solar Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Stake: $25,405

GALE MAHLER (1) secured five hurdle wins and now makes chasing debut. Progeny of her sire tend to improve for the switch to fences. Appealing option. Dual hurdle winner GREAT PEPPER (2) ran third tackling 3206m at Carlisle delivering initial chase outing. Absent for extended period either side of that attempt. Definite form claims. Take on trust. MILITAIRE (5) was beaten 17L second from a lower mark at Uttoxeter (4828m). Drop in trip and application of first-time cheekpieces might help. HURRICANE ALI (4) produced a fourth here on chasing debut last Saturday. Not to be dismissed.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last run finished 12th of 14 starters at Perth in the LR on April 23 over 4800m, 30 len behind Kiss Will with 70kg at $29. Run before won by 3 len Ayr on April 12 over 4100m defeating Chart Topper with 71kg at $10 in a hurdle. Rates well. In the mix if she can find the form from two runs back.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign finished third in a small field at Carlisle on February 3 over 3210m, on slow going 4 len behind Galunggung with 71kg at $5. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Perth in the LR on April 24 2024 over 4800m. Sure to be tough to beat.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming finished fourth in a small field at Carlisle on April 19 over 5000m, 23 len behind Kilmore Rock carrying 71kg at $13. Second-up finished third in a small field at this track on May 24 over 3460m, 5.5 len behind Coqolino carrying 70.5kg at $3.80. Go close. Will be thereabouts once more.
