Backing Jack Bear a necessity
IT is worth following Jack Bear in the Bet totetrifecta At betfred.com Handicap at Chelmsford tomorrow.
The seven-year-old made a winning debut for Roger Teal at Wolverhampton earlier this month, on what was his first outing anywhere for 85 days.
Oisin Murphy was content to bide his time on the ex-Harry Whittingtontrained gelding as he travelled near to last than first for much of the way before nudging him into contention rounding the final bend.
A lovely gap appeared up the rail swinging into the home straight and Murphy’s mount was quick to take it, before staying on in determined fashion and just having enough left to hold the late rattle of Rite To Reign by a short head.
That run will have helped blow any cobwebs off and the way he went about his work before tiring at the death suggests there might be a bit more to come just yet, even off a 3lb higher mark.
Peace Terms must surely pick up a race on the all-weather at some stage and the next opportunity comes in the shape of the Bet toteplacepot At betfred.com Maiden Stakes.
Trained by Ralph Beckett, the fouryear-old filly did not see a racecourse until Kempton in November but showed some ability in her thirdplace finish after doing too much through the early stages.
She was subsequently sent off favourite at Wolverhampton and was ridden patiently at the rear of the field before making her move.
Peace Terms had to switch slightly and just found the line coming too soon in going down by a neck to 40-1 chance Star Quality.
No Approval should not be far away in the Bet totejackpot At betfred.com Handicap.
The five-year-old will be having his second run for David Bridgwater, having been a dual winner in Ireland at Dundalk in December.
He had to settle for fifth at Lingfield, but saw plenty of daylight in a wide position and is well worth persevering with dropped back to seven furlongs, which should suit judged on the way he travelled that day.
Ted’s Brother has to be of interest back up in trip for the Bet toteexacta At betfred.com Handicap.
The seven-year-old met with traffic problems at Wolverhampton on his penultimate appearance and looked to find a mile short of his best here last time out as he was tapped for toe when the pace began to heat up before battling on to take second.
