Flat Is Back At Redcar Fillies' Handicap

3YO plus | Class 5 | 5f | 9 Runners | Turf

(4)

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 74| D

Handles all types of ground and riders claim certainly helps from a handicapping perspective. Yard been fairly quiet so far this year and will need to be ready to fire on the back of a five month break.

Lydiate Lady¹²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 70| CD

Had a wonderful time of things in 2017 after switch to current yard, winning four times and rising 22lbs in the weights. This once again requires a career best but not discounted given rate of progress last year.

Form: 111241-

Brockholes⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 70

Sole win came at Catterick (7f) on soft ground. Still 1lb higher than that winning mark on turf but should be fit from return at Newcastle (AW) in February and yards runners are going well.

Form: 3006/4-3

(8)

Granny Roz¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 68

Ran consistently well last season with the exception of the final start here in Septmeber when the blinkers seemed to have a negative effect. That headgear left off here and no surprise to see her on the premises again. Type trainer does well with.

Nuns Walk¹⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| BF| C| DWS

Two wins at the back end of last season (including here). Ability to stay 6f no bad thing and has had a wind operation. Improvement likely this term and should go close if fully tuned up.

Form: 211522-

(7)

Socialites Red^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| BF| D

Rated higher on turf than the AW. Fit from a couple of recent runs at Southwell but is still 2lbs higher than last winning mark and may find one or two of these too good.

Form: 1237-34

(3)

Dandy's Beano¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77| CD

Likeable filly who won over C&D on final start last season on soft ground. Starts life on a fair mark on handicap debut and gets weight off her elders today. Likely to go very close for yard that have started the turf season well.

Form: 6281-

(5)

Machree¹⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 73| D

Improved with each start last season. Won a noivce event at Catterick (5f) on final start with switching to front-running tactics paying dividends. Workable opening mark on handicap debut and conditions should be fine. Should go well.

Form: 341-

(9)

Marietta Robusti⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 66| D

Took a step backwards at Newcastle (AW) last time. First start on turf today and positive jockey booking. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 563127

Forecasts

Dandy's Beano (4/1), Nuns Walk (9/2), Brockholes (6/1), Machree (6/1), Lydiate Lady (13/2), Granny Roz (7/1), Marietta Robusti (8/1), Mininggold (12/1), Socialites Red (12/1)

An interesting fillies handicap to kick things off. Several of these have potential for improvement this term not least Nuns Walk and Machree who both come here with leading claims. Clear preference though is for DANDY'S BEANO who looks a filly with potential this year and conditions should be no problem.
