4.53 Brighton (8 runners)Royal Alexandra Childrens Hospital Handicap 1m. Analysis based on Timewise rankings.

·

The 4.53 race at Brighton has a field of 8 runners, all of which are 4 years old or older. It’s a Class 5 race with Good To Firm ground conditions, and it’s 1 mile long. The race will be run on a left-handed track, and the stalls are positioned inside.

According to the total ratings given, the horses are ranked as follows:

  1. Enough Already – 359.3
  2. Micks Dream – 348.0
  3. Darvel (IRE) – 309.8
  4. Mostawaa – 306.7
  5. Otago – 298.3
  6. Roman Dynasty (IRE) – 282.7
  7. Poetic Force (IRE) – 282.4
  8. Nasim – 269.8

Enough Already has the highest total rating of 359.3. This horse recently got back to winning ways at Lingfield, indicating good current form. It has also performed well at Brighton before, so it should be comfortable with the track. With its consistent ratings across the board, Enough Already stands as a top contender.

Micks Dream has the second-highest total rating at 348.0. It came second at Brighton three weeks ago and is noted as a horse that stays well over a mile. The application of cheekpieces for this race could potentially enhance its focus and performance. The ratings show a good level of consistency across all categories.

Darvel (IRE) ranks third in terms of total ratings with 309.8. This horse won over this course and distance last October, suggesting it can handle these conditions. However, its recent form has been off the pace, which is a concern. Despite this, it has decent ratings, particularly in speed, jockey and trainer categories.

Mostawaa has the fourth-highest total rating at 306.7. Though on a losing run, its recent third-place finish suggests a potential return to form. The horse has been performing well lately, especially when allowed to lead. It also has strong speed rating which can give it a competitive edge.

Looking beyond the ratings, Poetic Force (IRE) is one to consider, despite its lower total rating of 282.4. It has had three All-Weather wins already this year and could be a threat if it encounters no trouble in the race. An each-way bet could be worthwhile for this horse.

However, based on the ratings and recent form comments, the top three contenders for this race would be Enough Already, Micks Dream, and Darvel (IRE).
