Pontefract Race 2 - G3 Vehicle Auctions Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (5) Tidy run when 2nd last run at Ayr and was on debut last time. Go close. SEA MIRAGE (2) Was ordinary when 6th last start at Hamilton. Has the ability to turn things around and will try to take advantage of the draw. Can win this. BALDETTI (1) First run back from a break. Did well when 3rd last time at Leicester and having second career run. Can get the job done. TURNSTILE (3) Was well beaten when 7th last run at Leicester. Happy to overlook that run. Won't be far away during the run. Can win.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Leicester and having second race start. Must respect.

At $3.00 average at best when 6th last start at Hamilton. Has the ability to turn things around and drawn nicely. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Odds of $3.00 and gave away some ground when 7th last run at Leicester. Happy to overlook that run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Forward showing expected.
