Winning Return For Biotic

The massive three-year-old that is Biotic made a winning handicap debut at Kempton. He was very weak as a two-year-old but showed promise in his three starts and looked well handicapped off an initial mark of 55. Although it was not the strongest of races, he could not have done it easier, travelling comfortably at the front before easing clear inside the final furlong to win by two lengths.

With few upcoming options he made a quick return under a six pound penalty at Kempton nine days later in what turned out to be a very competitive handicap. Although he was beaten into second, it was pleasing to see him battle off the bridle. He still has plenty of strengthening up to do and will not be rushed this season. His mother was rated 90 while his half-brother Isis Blue won off 72 last year so he should have plenty of improvement left in him off a mark of 62.
