Thirsk Race 1 - John & Paula 25th Wedding Anniversary Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
PALM READER (1) Dictated the tempo to win by a margin of 1 3/4L last run at Beverley and was on debut last time. Displays good tactical speed. Looks well placed. BATTLE FEVER (4) Ran well when 3rd last time at Hamilton. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Expected to be flashing home. Leading chance. RED BLUE POINT (5) Racing as a debutant 2yo by Blue Point for James Tate and has a positive draw. Keep your eye on the market. BACHA (3) Unsatisfactory performance when 5th last start at Newcastle but was a debutant last start. Can finish in the money.

Took charge of the race to win by a margin of 1 3/4L last run at Beverley and having second race start. Should come to hand quickly. Will show up at the business end.

Jumped at $201.00 and was ordinary when 8th last run at Beverley. Have to respect the recent Kevin Frost & Lauren Frost form. Looks too tough.

Jumped at $19.00 and disappointing outing when 5th last start at Newcastle but having second career run. Unlikely to go close.

In the money when 3rd last time at Hamilton. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Will be trying to topple them late. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Jumped at $23.00 and average performance when 5th last run at Hamilton but will appreciate a good draw. Connor Beasley and Phillip Makin are a proven combination. Couldn't have in this.

Odds of $34.00 and came in 7th last start at Beverley but fitter for debut run. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

On a quick back up. At $151.00 had difficulty when 12th last run at Newcastle but having second race start. Much prefer the look of others in this race.
