Newbury Race 5 - Local Iq Hcp (Str)
THANOS (1) Won by a huge margin of 4 3/4L last start at Chepstow. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts. Should get going late. Don't overlook. DRYMEE (3) Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last run at Lingfield and can find a nice position from the draw. Displays very good finishing speed. This field suits. DEL CORSO (4) Came in 4th last run at Lingfield. Overlooking the last run and drops back to a suitable class. Showing positive results since coming back from a break and drawn well. Fights on bravely so consider. LUCKY LUNA (2) Showed a clean pair of heels to win by a margin of 1/2L last time at Salisbury and up against weaker rivals. Should muster plenty of early speed. Solid place bet prospects. Something for the Multiples: VENTURING (5)

Odds of $3.50 and finished 4th last run at Lingfield. Overlooking the last run and back in an easier grade. Should be swooping on the field late. Capable contender and should be in the finish.

Fresh from a spell. Started $7.00 and ran 4th last start at Dundalk but gets some weight relief. Coming to a new trainer. A difficult test here.
