Pontefract Race 2

Anna Woolley Memorial Handicap

Stake: $12,951

TWILIGHT GUEST (2) bids for a hat-trick following two victories at Brighton over 2000m. An attractive claiming jockey negates part of a rise in weights. Thereabouts. PARISH COUNCILLOR (4) is quickly turned out after placing third at Ripon on Thursday. Starting to find consistent form with two placed efforts previous two starts. Warrants thought. HAWA JUMEIRAH (1) just came out on top by a head at Leicester delivering most recent outing. Can double up. ROMAN SECRET (3) might fill fourth spot.

Third-up today. First-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 13 at Redcar on May 26 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Wait And Hope carrying 60kg at $5. Second-up 3rd of 7 at Ripon on June 19 over 2400m, 2.25 len behind Yakhabar carrying 67kg at $2.90. Won't be far away in the small field and is sure to be closing strongly.
