Ayr Race 2 - Coral 'Pipped-At-The-Post And Win' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
ATTIN (2) justified strong market support to make a winning start by 8L in a national hunt flat race at Newcastle (3400m) during April. Smart prospect and tough to oppose making hurdling debut. JET OF STARS (6) was successful in a point and a flat race at this track prior to stopping quickly on reappearance at Perth (3200m). Found to have an irregular heartbeat there. Retains potential so worth following up. MOON REIGN (1) was the surprise winner of that event taking a big stride forward from anything shown previously. Must now back that up under a penalty. COOL OFF (4) finished runner-up in a point during May. Each way possibilities.

At only start last preparation to post a big 9 len win. This track on March 7 over 3200m on rain affected going defeating Popton Point carrying 71.5kg at $1.40. Forgive first-up failure. Fitter and expected to go close this time.

Last start ran last at Perth on October 15 over 3200m, on slow going 30 len behind Kershaw carrying 65.5kg at $301. Run before finished sixth of 10 starters at Perth on September 23 over 3200m, 15 len behind Moon Reign carrying 63.5kg at $251. Unlikely to improve enough to threaten in this.
