Hamilton Park Race 2 - Strathmore Hotels Ltd Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
ACCORDING TO MARK (3) Placed 2nd last time at Doncaster and has a good draw. Has not missed the money this preparation in 3 attempts and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Looks well placed. KISSMEHONEYHONEY (1) First up after a break. Disappointing effort when 8th last time at Goodwood. Should bounce back and up against weaker rivals. Should muster plenty of early speed. Rates a winning chance. TIERNAN (2) Threw down a serious challenge last run at Pontefract. Finishes off strongly. Solid claims. MIDNIGHT SERENADE (5) 3yo first starter sired by Twilight Son for R Mike Smith. Respect the betting.

Fresh after a break. Was $13.00 and below standard effort when 8th last time at Goodwood. Should bounce back and stepping down to a lower level. Attracts support.

Was competitive when 2nd last time at Doncaster and solid career start. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation and has a positive draw. Will attract plenty of interest.

Fresh today. Was $126.00 and not up to standard when 4th last start at Chester but has drawn to do little work. Likely to get back in the run. Facing a difficult task.
