Stoneacre Joe¹¹

4/1

Sent off a massive price but is bred to make into an above average sprinter and left debut form well behind 10 months on having been gelded when second of 14 at Doncaster (6f) 11 days ago. Set to win races on that evidence.

Forecasts

Railwayman (2/9), Stoneacre Joe (4/1), Mind Over Matter (17/2), Le Puy (33/1), Thistle Nil (66/1), April Diamond (80/1), Mac's Wee Sister (100/1), Saxon Gem (150/1), Wee Dresser (200/1)

RAILWAYMAN made a promising start in a Leicester novice 3 weeks ago that's already working out and this well-bred colt can improve and open his account. Stoneacre Joe took a big step forward when second at Doncaster on his return and looks the danger ahead of Mind Over Matter.
