Fontwell Park Race 6

Best Odds Guaranteed At Betmgm Handicap Chase

Prize Money: $11,346

INSTANT GAMBLER (3) brings consistent form this season including three victories at the course. Last seen posting a good third in a 4800m novices handicap chase in October at Fakenham. Leading contender. RIVER TYNE (1) drops back down in grade after scoring by a nose two runs back in a 5200m novices handicap chase at Plumpton. Respect. CAPTAIN CLAUDE (2) was an easy winner at this fixture last year. Recorded a smart third in this level over 4400m at this track two weeks ago. Makes some appeal. DYSANIA (6) may make the frame.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up won by a nose Plumpton 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C5) on October 21 over 5100m defeating Hobb's Delight with 75kg at $5 in a steeplechase. Second run from a spell finished eighth of 9 runners at this track 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C3) on November 17 over 5500m, 37 len behind Unanswered Prayers with 65.5kg at $9. Fitter now and making headway every start. Cannot be ruled out - worth another chance.

Racing well. Resumes off a 57 day letup. Last outing finished third in a small field at Fakenham 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C5) on October 30 over 4800m, 2.75 len behind Lunar Contact carrying 72.5kg at $2. Run before favourite; won by 7 len this track 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C5) on October 23 over 5200m slow going defeating Eurkash with 69kg at $2.50 in a steeplechase. Fought on last time. Yet to have his colours lowered at this track so he can return to winning form.

Third-up today. First-up finished eighth of 14 starters at Worcester 4yo+ STPLE HCP (C5) on October 16 over 4600m, slow track; 37 len behind Law Of Supply carrying 75kg at $41. Second run from a spell pulled up at Market Rasen 4yo+ HCP CHSE (C5) on November 27 over 4290m. Continues to improve. Capable enough and cannot be underestimated.
