Typically dire fare by selling standards and GAMMA VELORUM is only the most token of selections with Monseiur Villez and Delightfully others for consideration. Gamma Velorum did win a seller at Market Rasen in August and while not the heartiest of battlers, he is at least at some level of racefitness. Monseiur Villez has cheekpieces on. He has put up some of his better performances when tried in headgear. Just Posh is exposed as a plater though her stable's runners have been running creditably when in their correct grade. Bonnetta would have been better off with a number of these rivals were this a handicap. She was beaten quite some way when obtaining a second place at this course. Viscount Rossini has won 2 from his twelve starts so must be watched in the market. A distinctly unmemorable event that can go the way of Gamma Velorum.
