Thirsk Race 2 - By Chen Presidential Apprentice Hcp
HATAMOTO (5) Put the head down when winning last start at Beverley and has a good draw. In fine form since resuming from a spell. Has good closing speed. Has plenty of claims. SANDY CRAIC (2) Was competitive when 2nd last run at Beverley and facing weaker opposition. Displays good tactical speed. Gets a favourable draw. Will have to carry more weight. Look for a bold run. LEELAWADEE (4) Ran 4th last run at this venue but competing in a less challenging grade. One of the hopes. SCHEFFLER (3) Below standard effort when 10th last run at Carlisle but competing at a lower class. Rough chance.

Back from a spell of 44 weeks. Started at $151.00 and didn't find the line when 16th last start at Doncaster but lining up against easier rivals. Could not recommend.

Ran 2nd last run at Beverley and matched against less formidable competition. Should race on the speed. Drawn well. Has to carry more weight this time. Competitive type.

Ordinary performance when 10th last run at Carlisle but competing in an easier class. Would need to step up.

Odds of $17.00 and came in 4th last run at this venue but taking on easier opposition. Nice price for the value seekers.

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start at Beverley and drawn nicely. Will be hitting the line strongly. Going well this preparation. Very capable of taking this out.
