Ayr Race 2 - Altos Tequila Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
NORTHERN BRAVE (3) produced a solid debut among stronger company when third tackling 1600m at this track beaten 3.5L. Selected to improve for that effort and rates the one to beat. WAVE POWER (4) finished 3.5L fourth attempting 1700m at Hamilton Park last start. Small field to suit and rates a genuine contender. GAELIC APPROACH (1) was never a threat on debut attempting 1600m here finishing 12L from the winner in fifth. Can progress with that experience and produce a much better showing. NAUGHTY BOY (2) finished fifth as a newcomer in a 1200m contest at Hamilton Park beaten 13L. Bred to appreciate more ground and open to sharp progress. Worth keeping safe.

At debut, ran last in a small field at Hamilton Park on September 22 over 1200m, slow going 13 len behind Passing Thought carrying 60.5kg at $23. Don't think he will trouble this field.
