Thirsk Race 2

Hartshead Dos Champions Restricted Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 2)

Prize Money: $14,760

BIG SHOT VETO (4) placed twice in three career starts so far including when third attempting a novice race at Catterick on most recent appearance. Wears first-time cheekpieces and is expected to challenge. INDEFENSIBLE (5) finished runner-up making seasonal reappearance contesting a handicap at Beverley. Failed to follow up when seventh at Doncaster. Might bounce back. SAND SEA (1) ran slightly below par when sixth in a maiden at Catterick more than a year ago. Returns after an elongated break and improvement is expected. MOVING RUBBER (7) cannot be discounted having been fifth racing first-up in a maiden at Doncaster.
