Ripon Race 6 - Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate Hcp
VEGA'S VIRTUE (2) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 3L last start at the track and has a good draw. Will be hitting the line strongly. One of the top hopes. AMBER HAMUR (6) Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at Hamilton and form has been improving over recent runs. Likely to be well placed early. Should be in the finish. HEY HAVANA (7) Ran 5th last time at Ayr. Expecting improvement here and challenged by weaker competitors. Has drawn the rails. No shock to see a win. DACRES CROSS (1) Finished 5th last time at Catterick. Capable of bouncing back and has been racing in stronger company. Each way value for this race.

Jumped at $5.00 and came in 5th last time at Catterick. Capable of bouncing back and matched against a less competitive field. Follow the money.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3L last start around here and has a positive draw. Has a great burst of speed late. Will be fighting out the finish.

Brave effort to win narrowly by a head last start at Hamilton and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Should race on the speed. Great chance.
