Newbury 1350: Totescoop6 Nursery Bar
Some of the unexposed runners have appealing profiles including Art Scholar, La Pantera and Haadeeth, however DELORIA should prize the return to six furlongs and gets the nod. Eve Johnson Houghton's filly never threatened to land a blow at Newmarket last conditions out over seven furlongs but she can bounce back to form this afternoon. She has been dropped a pound in the ratings for that effort and with Andrew Heffernan claiming five off her back she should run well at satisfying odds. Craicattack has no problem with quick ground and six furlongs and he is better than his latest effort in a Fairyhouse sales race last chance might suggest, Quaestor has a bit to find on that Fairyhouse run but is generally consistent, whilst Joe Packet is another who is yet to shed his maiden tag. Of more interest is Haadeeth who was gifted to dead-heat on his debut at Kempton despite running green; he is open to plenty of betterment and a mark of 79 may prove to be lenient. La Pantera soon put the race to bed at Goodwood last time out; she hasn't been seen since that run in May but it would be unwise to take her lightly. Shock continues to rise up the handicap as he has only been out of the places once in his last six starts. Art Scholar suffered a costly reversal at Folkestone last previously out but the bigger field and more even tempo that is likely here should play more to his strengths, assuming he takes to the first-time cheek-pieces. An unfortified heat, but we are happy to side with Deloria.
