Chepstow Race 3

Explosive Outdoor Staging & Events Handicap

Stake: $13,151

BANKSMAN (1) Honest race when 2nd last start at Brighton and has a good draw. Displays very good finishing speed. Massive hope. MIAKODA (4) Ran on strongly when 2nd last time at the track and has drawn to do little work. Tongue tie on could be an important change. Has good finishing speed. Could run a race. OLDBURY LAD (6) Outpaced some runners late when 5th last start around here. Trainer has gone for the winkers on, take note. Worth strong consideration. ON A VESPA (3) Lost ground in the run home when 5th last time at Lingfield. Happy to forgive that run and facing weaker opposition. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat.
