Hamilton Park Race 5

Pdm Handicap

Stake: $16,088

HURT YOU NEVER (1) powered home for a 1L win at Nottingham. Clearly in great form and can improve further yet. Rates highly as set to take beating. GOOD POINT (3) placed 1.5L third at Musselburgh second up. Will now be primed and rates a major winning chance. STREET LIFE (4) was beaten just 3.5L in a stronger contest at Chester last time. Easy to fancy following that good effort. NEVER DARK (2) has been struggling of late. Not entirely ruled out against this small field.

Form hard to fault. Last start came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.0 len at Nottingham July 15 over 1000m defeating Glory Fighter carrying 58.5kg at $4. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Haydock Park on July 3 over 1000m, 3 len behind Fortunate Star carrying 62kg at $6.50. Terrific chance in a suitable contest.

At the latest run ran last of 10 at Musselburgh on July 22 over 1000m, 11 len behind Jm Jhingree carrying 63kg at $26. The race before that 7th of 11 at Chester on July 12 over 1000m, 7 len behind Maharajas Express with 63.5kg at $17. Has ability but the last run is a concern.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming second last of 8 at Catterick on May 30 over 1000m, 9 len behind Albegone with 59.5kg at $12. Second run from a spell held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Musselburgh on July 22 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Jm Jhingree carrying 61kg at $17. Knocking on the door and is one of the main hopes.
