Exeter Race 3 - Safer Gambling At Copybet Mares' Chase (Listed) (Gbb Race)
A disappointingly small field for this listed Mares chase. FUN FUN FUN (1) looks to gain another deserved success at pattern level and trainer Willie Mullins likes to travel with this mare. Proven to be too good previously and expected to replicate on this occasion. DELLA CASA LUNGA (3) has been an admirable mare for connections running in some good handicap contests though often comes up short when stepping into this grade. Might find this too difficult. BLUE LAS (2) is the unexposed runner in this field. Made a pleasing start to her chasing career and needs to take a big step forward. Cannot be ruled out.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up finished fourth in a small field at Punchestown in the LR on November 23 over 3621m, 9 len behind Feet Of A Dancer with 68.5kg at $1.80. Second run from a spell made ground from midfield; finished fourth in a small field at Doncaster in the LR on December 29 over 4100m, 16 len behind Spindleberry with 72.5kg at $5.50. This previous course winner is hard to beat.

Freshened for 53 days. Last run won by 1.0 len Doncaster on December 29 over 4800m defeating Maximilian with 69kg at $2.10 in a steeplechase. The run before finished second in a small field at Warwick in the LR on December 11 over 4000m, on slow going 3.5 len behind Diva Luna carrying 70kg at $17. Could be anything in this field.

Recent form hard to fault. Last outing finished second in a small field at Carlisle on February 3 over 4200m, 10 len behind First Confession carrying 69kg at $2.90. Run before made ground from midfield; finished fourth of 10 starters at Kempton Park on December 27 over 4900m, 8 len behind Star Walking with 76kg at $5.50. Gets a chance to win. Definite threat.
