Ripon Race 1 - Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
DIFFERENT OPINIONS (5) Came in 4th last run at Southwell. Should improve from the last run but racing against tougher rivals. Will be there at the finish. MIND OVER MATTER (2) First up from a break of 31 weeks and kept running on late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L first up last preparation at Ayr. Can get the job done. MILFORD GRANGE (1) Fairly underwhelming when 7th last run at Pontefract and rising in grade. Gets a chance to win. THE UNTAMED (3) Good effort when placing 2nd last time at Chelmsford and was on debut last time. Has a good draw. Stepping up to a higher level. Suitably placed in this race.

Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 2L last time at Chelmsford and having second race start. Can find a nice position from the draw. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Good chance of taking this out.

Was $41.00 and mediocre performance when 9th last time at Southwell and facing stiffer opposition. Difficult to warm to at present.

Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Newcastle and fitter for debut run. Coming to a new trainer and drawn beautifully. Facing formidable competition. Place and exotics candidate.
