Salisbury Race 1 - Michael Brunton Memorial British Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
FLICK OF AN EYE (4) Simon Crisford & Ed Crisford 2yo by Black Beard having first race start. More confidence with David Probert guiding the horse. Betting as a guide. SATURN STAR (9) 2yo by Starspangledbanner having first start for Ralph Beckett and drawn nicely. Watch the betting. FORBIDDEN FIRE (10) Career debut 2yo by No Nay Never for trainer A M Balding. Follow the money. GOLD REEF CITY (5) Came in 3rd last time at Nottingham. Can take this out.

At $10.00 didn't threaten when 6th last time at Windsor. Should muster plenty of early toe. A difficult test here.

Odds of $101.00 and unimpressive effort when 15th last run at Ascot but up against a less competitive field. Should come to hand quickly. Gets a favourable draw. This looks a tough assignment.

Racing on a quick back up. Started at $15.00 and was ordinary when 7th last time at Ffos Las and will be dropping in distance. Hard to take.

Started $8.50 and appeared lacklustre when 4th last run at this venue. Gets back and needs luck. Needs too much luck.
