Ben Pearce will head to the provincial TAB meeting at Northam Racing Club on Thursday, July 31 with showers forecast and a track rating of a Dead 4 applicable at this time.
The soul runner for the stable Lady Natesa, will appear in the final event on the program in the free entry 14th of August handicap over 1600m, with 15 thoroughbreds to contest the distance, with the stable runner jumping from barrier 11, Jarrod Noske to ride.
Lady Natesa has prepared for this assignment off the back of a second of 10 at Pinjarra over 1603 m when ridden in a forward position for most of the trip, going down by three quarters of a length on a Slow 6, and most recently contested in a 1650 meter event on July 16 at Belmont, when she finished fourth of 10, ridden prominently throughout to finish the race 3 1/4 lengths behind the winner on that occasion.
Distance wise she has competed four times for two x placings, and her only visit to the track resulted in an 11 length second last when ridden by Peter Knuckey.
Good luck to connections of Lady Natesa at Northam on Thursday.
