Hi@Hedgehog,
I've worked the Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon. This is a race that is usually affected by the draw. Over the last few seasons the stands side (high numbers) seem to have had an advantage, but this is not always the case. It may pay to wait and see the result of the consolation race (Ripon 2:05) before deciding on what to back or what not to back. My ratings are below.
Ripon 3:15 (1) Growl, (2) Shanghai Glory, (3) Aeolus, (4) Dakota Gold.
High Numbers top 3:- (1) Aeolus, (2) Kimberella, (3) Terentum Star.
Low Numbers top 3:- (1) Growl, (2) Shanghai Glory (3) Dakota Gold.
Good Luck Today and Regards
Nellsman
Update:- Result of consolation hasn't helped I'm backing small stakes EW Kimberella.
