Description
BELLS APPROACHING is a lovely horse to do anything with. The nicest, kindest horse made & a pleasure to have around the stable.
He is very near to a win. Most recently after beginning well and looking likely to settle first 5 he was restrained to be in front of 3 settling and 10 lengths from the leader mid race and then had a fairly checkered passage down the straight. Simply got too far back & despite that with clear running 100m from home likely earns some prize money. That run and a more positive ride should see him hard to beat in a similar race at the same trip or even a touch further at his next start.

He has an unusual gait at the trot improving to a canter and you will need to make a rider aware of it. Two of his embargoes have simply been jockeys who didn't know him and suggested the Vet have a look at him before the start which has seen him scratched with no issue at all.
His best form is on bigger & drier tracks including a very good second to MASTER JAMIE in a 3YO Hcp at Eagle Farm. That said he has raced well at his home track at Murwillumbah through his career. Drier tracks have been difficult in the last 6 months.
