Re: Pontefract 27/09/07 3.20 Pontefract Big field of 17 currently expected to start this Class 5 handicap over the minimum trip of 5f. Some in form horses here but not a race to be taking any short prices about so I'm going EW on: Back In The Red (RPF 12/1) - 1 of 5 3yo's taking on their elders today, but this one looks to be the horse most likely of taking this for the younger brigade. Low draw usually helps here so stall 6 looks to be ideal for a horse that normally breaks well and races up with the pace. Has risen up the handicap in the light of back to back wins but mark has steadied following 2 runs of 4th on last 2 starts. Lto was in Class 4 but dropped to Class 5 today off same mark. Previous to that, looked all over the winner 1f out but evidently didn't get the 6th furlong. Conditions sure to suit today - all 3 wins coming over minimum trip which it faces today, is 2 from 6 on todays going of G-F and all 3 of its wins at this time of year. Never won before August. The drop in class could be key here and I'm expecting a big run at double figure odds.
