Newbury Race 2 - Betvictor Simple Things Juvenile Hurdle (Gbb Race)
INNAMORATO (1) maintains a progressive profile representing a leading trainer after a 1.25L success in a 3800m heavy ground maiden hurdle at Taunton two weeks ago. Top selection. ETTORE (4) concluded his flat career last August with a 6L third in a 1600m novice contest at Windsor. Goes jumping for the first time racing for a top local trainer. Worth a market check. LOVE YOU BACK (6) managed to build on consistent flat form delivering a promising hurdle debut last November when 4.75L second in a 3200m maiden hurdle at Warwick. Makes appeal. CECILIA STAR (9) shaped with credit earlier this month running 5.5L fifth contesting a 3200m mares maiden hurdle earlier this month at Kempton. Might feature.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last outing raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len Taunton on February 12 over 3800m on heavy going defeating Five Bar Gate with 66kg at $6.50 in a hurdle. Before that finished fourth of 12 starters at Wincanton on January 15 over 3000m, slow track; 23 len behind Sinchi Roca with 67.5kg at $21. Found his best form now. Tough to stop again.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after four months came from midfield; finished fifth of 16 runners at Kempton Park on February 2 over 3200m, 5.5 len behind Lady Magic carrying 66kg at $51. Previously second-up ran last at Nottingham on October 8 over 2800m, 64 len behind Pique' with 59kg at $12. One of the better hopes.
