Revolutionise ready to add to his tally
REVOLUTIONISE can back up a convincing success at Wolverhampton last time out with another power-packed display in the Bombardier British Hopper Amber Beer Handicap at Newcastle.
The Stuart Williamstrained five-year-old upset the odds-on favourite Tranchee when scoring by a length and half.
The handicapper put him up 4lb for that effort, which seems fair on the visual evidence. A similar performance can see Revolutionise take this decent prize.
BRAVADO lost his unbeaten record in a hot event at Kempton last month and can regain winning ways in the Play Ladbrokes 5-A-side On Football Conditions Stakes.
The race run did not suit Mark Johnston’s threeyear-old on his latest appearance. He seemed to dislike being steadied on leaving the stalls rather than bowling along in front.
The latter tactics had seen Bravado make all the running on his two previous starts. Should he get the chance to lead early then the Showcasing colt could show his true colours.
DUKE OF FIRENZE showed he still retains plenty of ability at the age of 12 when finishing with a flourish to get up in the shadow of the post and collar Qaaraat by a head little over a week ago.
A 4lb penalty for that narrow success may not stop him following up in the Heed Your Hunch At Betway Handicap.
