DRAG RACE gets a valuable weight allowance as a four-year-old against her elders and David Pipe’s filly dropped a heavy hint when second at Southwell last month. Nicky Richards has always been a skilled handler of mares and She’s A Rocca made light work of a moderate field at Newcastle earlier while Simply Red was held off this mark on a previous visit during her tenure with Ollie Greenall but won for her new yard at Bangor last week and is penalised. Encashment has made the frame on her two most recent starts and can figure again.
