Haydock Park Race 6 - Betfred 'The Classic Bookmaker' Handicap (Gbbplus Race)
BEST ADVENTURE (3) won for the first time two weeks ago scoring by 1L a similar level 2000m handicap at Newmarket. Leading chance. CRACKERGEE (5) ran well finishing a neck second in a lower graded 2400m handicap at Kempton AW. Can continue the improvement. KURAKKA (2) was off the mark at the third attempt winning a 2000m novice race at Chelmsford City AW. Makes for appeal. IS I RIGHT (9) found success by 1.7L attempting a course and distance handicap. Ticks plenty of boxes.

Second-up. First-up after six months 3rd of 7 at Chester on May 8 over 2500m, 5.5 len behind Lady Vivian carrying 58kg at $29. Previously second-up 2nd of 14 at Kempton Park All Weather on October 30 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind American Gal with 58kg at $34. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond her reach.
