2:48 Pontefract Tips

Fast improving mare and represents the bang in form stable of Grant Tuer. Has won four of her last five, the latest success coming in a similar listed event to today's. A fourteenth career success beckons.

There's not much in this horses form that would make her an obvious candidate for this, but she did do well last time giving a stone and a half to the 3 year olds, and is pitched into Listed company now. There is a bit of substance to her debut win, beating a horse that subsequently chased home Prizeland giving a stone away, and that horse has acquitted themselves well in Group company. It might be a stretch, but at 20/1 in an open race it looked punchy enough for a trainer who has a fairly sound 11/30 place strike rate here in the last 5 years. Low draws are favourable, but high draws have taken this 4 times from the last 8 runnings, including the highest draw of the lot on two occasions, so 12/12 isn't insurmountable if she's good enough.
