Ripon Race 6

Ripon Races Ladies Day 19Th June Handicap

Stake: $17,933

SOMETHING (2) drops in grade following a creditable 12L sixth at Newcastle. Looked in need of the run that day so could strip fitter. May prove too good for this field. VALLEY OF FLOWERS (4) resumes after near ten month absence in a suitable looking contest. Might be fit for return and maintains good record when fresh. Key player. CURRAN (6) stayed on for a placing at Ayr last time. Extra distance could bring progression so look to keep safe. TOKYO BAY (7) drops in weight for modest efforts in preps. Now third up however and can take a step forward. Each way chance.
