Chester Race 2 - British Stallion Studs Ebf 'Confined' Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
PURE GRIT (1) Fresh after a break. Did well when 2nd last time at the track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Capable of a strong showing and is a top chance. SOVEREIGNS HIGH (3) Came in 8th last time at Windsor. Expecting improvement here. Expect a solid run. SHAKWAA (2) Did well when 3rd last time at Newbury and having second race start. Should jump out and bowl along. Competing at a lower level of competition. Gets a favourable draw. Winnable race. INDEPENDENT ROZE (5) Not in contention when 5th last run at Carlisle but was on debut last time. Could fill the minors.

First run back from a break. Came in 2nd last time here. Has early speed and positions nicely. No surprise to see this winning.

Finished 3rd last time at Newbury and having second career run. Likely to be well placed early. Competing in a less challenging grade. Drawn nicely. Should go close.

Odds of $201.00 and disappointing display when 10th last time at Southwell but can save some energy from the draw. Does take a while to get into stride. Can't recommend.

Was $101.00 and mediocre attempt when 5th last run at Carlisle but fitter for debut run. Rather have another day.
