Decent looking handicap ending the newmarket card backed up by the time over a second quicker than the sales race won by windhoek running off a mark of 93 having ghurair rated 111 in behind in third.The first three rated 77,83 and 80 in the handicap,the race also compared well to the other races on the card so they all look well handicapped.

Some really interesting time comparisons and if these times work out these four are well ahead of their current marks.There were three 6f races run on wednesday at ripon,jonny cavagin winning off 77 carrying 8-13 winning a 71-85 handicap for older horses slow by 3.58 seconds,later on the card the 2nd div was won by baccarat and sandy lane baccarat off 84 carrying 9-6 slow by 3.30 seconds.
The 3yr old handcap above the fuirst four the race was slow by 3.37 seconds and yet they were only rated 73,68,71,66 and yet off levels all wouldv'e beaten baldemar second to jonny cavagin in the first div rated 71 with 80+ runners in behind.This could turn out to be exceptionally strong form for the grade so will be keeping a close eye on these runners as bar the winner and runner up the 3rd and 4th should go off decent prices.
Does turf count?:lol:baltic prince
A bit late in the season for horses to follow on the aw but baltic prince first run on fibresand and ran well after getting left 6ls then switched wider giving even more ground away to be beaten a length.Has run well in slightly better races previous off slightly higher marks,now at the lowest level back over this track a 6f race should take all the beating off just a mark of 48.I can see him being out again quickly in one of these very weak races,finished with a bit in hand at the end of the race as well.
