Bath Race 5

Best Cleaning Supporting MentalHealthAwarenessWeek Handicap

Stake: $14,856

MOON OVER THE SEA (1) arrives under a penalty after several wins here over course and distance and last week at Windsor. Getting better with age and seemingly not done with winning just yet. VIRTUAL HUG (2) is keeping busy of late. Gained a deserved success back on turf over course and distance here a week ago and holds every chance of going back to back. ENDOFASTORM (6) looks overdue a change of fortune having finished runner up last two outings including when behind the main selection. Worth giving another chance. BASILETTE (5) is a better hurdler than on the flat. Might be up against it among this company.

Second run back. First-up after six months 3rd in a small field at Salisbury on May 3 over 2800m, 11 len behind Laravie carrying 54kg at $3.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 12 at Stratford-On-Avon on June 17 over 3270m, 1.0 len behind Al Mootamarid with 72kg at $13. Strips fitter and is definitely worth including.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd of 8 at this track on April 27 over 2300m, 1.0 len behind Moon Over The Sea carrying 54kg at $6. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on April 29 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Eutropia with 55kg at $5. Worth plenty of thought.
