the prophet

Respectable runs in his last three starts from the 5yo. He was a good 5th of 18 in his last turf race last month, beaten by three runners rated 70??"75. He has a 3 lb lower mark now. No rival is rated above 65. He is now dropping into a Class 6 contest, and he was rated much higher last year.

The 7yo was only outpaced at the finish two weeks ago over this 16f trip. It was his first run for six months, and he can improve for the run. There's a better jockey booking for this handicap, a 2 lb lower mark, and he is racing in much calmer waters. He ran a couple of decent races last summer when rated 10 lb+ higher.

Lightly raced, ex-French-trained 4yo filly. Two runs this year. Respectable return run in an 18-runner handicap, drawn on the wrong side and met traffic problems. She went too quick at the front last time out in a 5f sprint. On a reduced mark now and takes a drop in class to this Class 5, 6f handicap. She was only beaten 3L last Oct when third in a Class 2 contest. With the jockey's claim, she's effectively 18 lb better off from that run last Oct.

Two decent return runs from the 6yo this spring after coming off a seven-month break, and he should be in good condition now. He ran some nice races in defeat at the start of his last campaign, posting some high RPR ratings. Suited by this track and fast ground, and he is on a handy-looking mark now.
