PLAY SMARTER

BAVARDAGES has been in good form of late since ﬁtted with a visor and can make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. The 5-y-o lost out close home at this C&D on his latest outing, but he remains on a good mark based on old form so is taken to resume winning ways. Myboymax and Saulire Star have also been holding their form well and are respected as they both arrive bidding to make it back-to-back victories.

CHANGING COLOURS produced a promising first effort and learned from that experience to get off the mark at Haydock comfortably, form which has been boosted by the second winning since. The son of Dubawi can continue his progress and make it back-to-back wins, with Karl Burke’s Secret Angel the main danger after her encouraging debut. Shandy Star could still do better and she completes the shortlist.

The Fourteenth Running of The Wayne Conway Memorial Handicap Stakes

Wayne was taken away from us far too soon but his legacy remains, a husband and father loved and admired by family, friends and colleagues alike. He showed great strength in the face of a terrible illness when previously he had been so ﬁt and well. Family and friends meet once a year here at Pontefract to celebrate his life at a place he loved to visit.

the 'our mums' memorial handicap stakes Jean Lewis Passed 25th June 2019

Jean who lived & worked in the Doncaster/Scunthorpe area in several roles sadly passed on the 25th June 2019 aged 81 - she was a much loved mum to her daughter Helen who joins us today along with her 2 sons Luke & Leigh. Also with us today are relatives Mich & Debbie who have made the trip over from Eindhoven, Holland. Jean’s horse racing interest came via her late husband Tony who was an avid horse racing fan with his usual 20p RR bets on a Saturday morning.

Brenda’s son David along with his best friend Martin & wife Dawn join us today to remember Brenda who sadly passed 26th June 2021 aged 89yrs. Brenda spent all her working life teaching at various schools in the Barnsley area before retiring as Deputy Head at Kendray Juniors in the early 90’s. Brenda’s racing interest was mainly a distant one where she loved to watch Royal Ascot with all the pomp & pageantry but did actually manage a ladies day visit here at Pontefract to celebrate a birthday. Brenda leaves her husband Brian & daughter Kathryn.

Cases can be made for each member of the sextet. Preference is for GRIFTER, who opened his account in determined fashion at Beverley recently and he remains on a good mark based on last season’s form. Fellow 3-y-o Western Stars is greatly respected on his handicap debut, while Carnival Zain lost little caste in defeat when failing in his hat-trick bid over C&D last month.

PLAY SMARTER

Though below-par at Thirsk last time, DREAM TOGETHER was in good form prior to that and it would be no surprise whatsoever were this 5-y-o to bounce back. He is just 1lb higher than for his latest success at Haydock in April and earns preference ahead of Round The Island, who isn’t the most reliable overall but he’s hit the crossbar the last twice and should again be in the mix. Mr Orange has dipped to a dangerous mark and is also on the shortlist.
