Redcar Race 1 - Happy Birthday Mark Holton Nursery
SON OF A FISH (2) Good run when finishing 3rd beaten by 3L last run at Leicester and will find this grade more suitable. Warrants a bet. HOPE OF ACKLAM (1) Nice run when 3rd last start at Musselburgh and putting a tidy record together. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Appears well in this. DAKOTA BRAVE (3) Resumes from a break. Mediocre attempt when 4th last run at Catterick but challenged by weaker competitors. Should muster plenty of early speed. Right in this. ASTRAL CALLING (9) Made considerable ground when 2nd last time at Musselburgh and taking on a lower class of opponents. Strong chance.

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd beaten by 3L last run at Leicester and competing at a lower class. Expected to be competitive.

Fresh today. Started $8.00 and basic showing when 4th last run at Catterick but stepping down to a lower level. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Has claims.

Started at $23.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last time at Haydock but up against weaker rivals. Won't be far away during the run. Keep safe for trifectas.

Racing fresh today after a break. Was $81.00 and struggled with the pace when 13th last run at York but going over extra ground. Has a positive draw. Can't recommend.

At $13.00 folded up in the straight when 8th last time at Leicester but goes down in grade. Should muster plenty of early toe. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.

At $51.00 below par when 9th last start at Musselburgh but will benefit with the weight drop. Should jump out and bowl along. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Caught the eye when 2nd last time at Musselburgh and challenged by less formidable competitors. Definite winning chance.

Was $41.00 and moderate showing when 10th last run at Beverley but dropping in grade. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Has drawn the rails. Leaving right out.
