Pontefract Race 1 - Every Raceday Is Autism Friendly At Pontefract Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
SHOWTOWN (7) First run back from a 28 week spell. Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by nearly 3 1/2L last run at Hamilton and good career start. Will be around the mark at odds. SPACEMAN (8) Back from a break. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3L last start at Redcar and having second career run. Coming to a new trainer. Underrated. STAR WITH PURPOSE (9) 3yo by Zoustar having first start for John Quinn & Sean Quinn. Betting is the best guide. INVINCIBLE BOY (3) Back from a spell. Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 3rd beaten by 6L last start at Doncaster. Displays good tactical speed. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Odds of $23.00 and below par when 8th last start at Newcastle but going down in grade. Expected to settle towards the tail. Facing a difficult task.

First run back from a break. Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd beaten by 6L last start at Doncaster. Strong claims.

Started $126.00 and only fair when 10th last run at Newcastle but was on debut last time. Will find this grade easier. Drawn nicely. Rising in weight. This won't be easy.

Resuming from break of 28 weeks. Nice effort to run into 3rd beaten by nearly 3 1/2L last run at Hamilton and putting a tidy record together. Solid chance.

Resuming after a spell. Picked up late ground when 2nd last start at Redcar and fitter for debut run. First start for a new trainer. Displays very good closing speed. Can measure up against these.
