Narrative: Small-field Class 2 novice at Hamilton with four horses having run once and two debutants. Mind Those Steps tops the ratings on RPR 73 after a promising Ripon third where he ran on late, and is the form choice. Location Location (RPR 67, finished well at Kempton after being short of room) is the obvious danger, while George Boughey's well-bred Showcasing colt This Moment is the most interesting newcomer. Thai Ginger was punted on debut but looked green; Dakota Brave's RPR 38 leaves a mountain to climb. Recommended: Mind Those Steps Best RPR in the field (73, six clear of next), encouraging Ripon debut third where he ran on late suggesting trip and probably more will suit. Easterby/Allan a long-standing combo and the colt is drawn well in stall 1 with experience on his side. Alternative: Location Location RPR 67 from a debut Kempton fifth where the comment notes he was short of room and still finished well — Fanshawe debutants regularly improve sharply for the experience. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-05-27 22:35 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11931374
