Brighton Race 6

Alfristongardens.co.uk Classified Stakes

Stake: $16,088

This looks to revolve around the two recent winners B ASSOCIATES (1) and NEPTUNE LEGEND (2). Narrow preference goes the way of the former who is a five-time scorer over this distance and won in fine style at Yarmouth (1400m). The latter scorched clear to win by 5L at Bath six days ago and is the obvious threat despite his uninspiring course form. VOLTAIC (5) drops to classified company and could go close on the form he showed when runner-up over course and distance two starts back. SHOT OF LOVE (4) heads the remainder.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on July 8 over 1600m, 2 len behind Lambournghini carrying 59kg at $8.50. The race before that led to the turn then faded 7th of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on June 19 over 1400m, 4 len behind Vitalline with 61kg at $4. Likely to play a big role.

Gelding back from a spell of 11 weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fifth of 10 at this track May 21 over 1410m, 6 len behind Havana Mojito carrying 55.5kg at $8. Previously first up; eighth of 11 at Wolverhampton November 16 over 1700m, 5 len behind King Of Speed carrying 69.5kg at $15. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
