Ripon Race 2

Racing For Tamara Ripon Hornblower Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $50,276

AL SHAHAM (1) was a noted purchase at the breeze-up sales. Secured a 4.5L course and distance victory making debut and looks set to handle this tougher assignment. Holds a G1 entry later in the season. Maintains appealing claims. GOLD QUEEN KINDLY (3) overcame obvious greenness to make a winning debut at Pontefract (1207m) ten days ago. His dam was a G2-winning juvenile and there could be plenty more to come. GHARMA SUTRA (2) was outclassed among G2 company last start. Previous debut win at Ffos Las (1207m) is working out well. Redcar winner SWORD MAKER (4) needs to take another step forward.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 4.5 len at this track July 29 over 1200m defeating Napolian with 60.5kg at $1.40. Can improve and is worth following up.

Comments

Had two starts to date. At debut, won by 1.5 len at Ffos Las July 16 over 1200m defeating First Time carrying 60.5kg at $12. Last start struggled in the run home; second last of 10 at Goodwood in the G2 Vintage Stakes on July 29 over 1400m, 7 len behind Zavateri with 58.5kg at $41. Has ability and is expected to do much better.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; won by 0.5 len at Pontefract August 6 over 1200m defeating Sanaam carrying 60.5kg at $1.50. Big chance he won't beat any of these home.

Raced two times to date. At long odds at debut, 10th of 12 at Newmarket (July) on July 11 over 1400m, 12 len behind Distant Storm with 58kg at $29. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Redcar July 30 over 1200m defeating Naawi carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. Hard to see him going back-to-back.
