Beverley Race 4

30 Years Of The Hurn Racing Club Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Stake: $27,011

ROMANZA (3) has improved with each appearance. Most recently placed 0.75L second attempting 1400m at Lingfield after finishing seventh in the Listed Chesham Stakes. Step up to 1500m should suit and he sets the standard. Holds leading claims. APULIA BAY (1) finished 1.25L behind the main selection in third on debut after racing prominently. Entitled to progress and cannot be dismissed. Main danger. VEGA KING (4) was beaten only 1.5L when fourth tackling 1400m at Ayr first time out despite racing keenly. Makes some appeal. GIANT DAN BURN (2) debuts for Charlie Johnston and is by Stradivarius out of Invincible Spirit mare Guavia. Not discounted.

At debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on July 6 over 1400m, 2 len behind Victory Gold carrying 60.5kg at $6.50. Improver with plenty of appeal.

At the latest run raced on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on July 6 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Victory Gold with 60.5kg at $4. The run before that 7th of 14 at Ascot in the LR Chesham Stakes on June 18 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Nola Soul with 59.5kg at $23. Tough to beat.

Was well-supported at debut, ran second last in a small field at Ayr on July 13 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Weleyff carrying 60.5kg at $3.50. Not far away last time but needs to improve if being competitive.
