Pontefract Race 1

Roy Winstanley Memorial - Raising Encephalitis Awareness Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $24,133

RAULIN (3) Set the pace to win by 1/2L last time here and facing less formidable opponents. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can find a nice position from the draw. Plenty to like about this today. DAWN OF LIBERATION (1) Backs up quickly. Good run when finishing 3rd last run at Ayr and will find this grade more suitable. Can go through the gears. Looks promising. LOVE TALK (2) Even though peaking on the run still grabbed 3rd beaten by almost 10L last time at Haydock and back in an easier grade. S H James rates highly. Tricast hope.
