Warwick Race 8 - Total Metal Recovery Mares' Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
VRHELIGONNE (6) shaped creditably on debut when runner-up in a Tattersalls point-to-point over 4828m four months ago. Since joined trainer Ben Pauling and open to improvement is expected to feature. POPTON POINT (2) made a winning start on the flat at Wetherby tackling 3200m three months back scoring by a head. Sure to be thereabouts. ANALITHEIA (1) raced twice on the flat securing a debutante victory at Exeter before pulling up at Market Rasen last time. Capable of better and makes for genuine appeal. JOTA'S GOLD (4) is a Doyen filly out of South Africa debuting. Market support would be significant.

Facing the starter for the third time today. At to post a big 5 len win. Exeter on December 5 over 3300m slow track defeating I'm Wide Awake with 67.5kg at $17. Second-up pulled up at Market Rasen in the LR on January 16 over 3300m. Has the ability to be in the finish. Great chance to return to winning ways.

Five-year-old mare by Blue Bresil out of Lady Beaufort has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having her first start today. Making race debut here. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Four-year-old filly who is first race starter by Getaway out of Gently Go. Tough test at her first appearance so prefer to see.

Four-year-old filly who is first race starter by Storm The Stars out of Elira D'airy. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give her this.
