Exeter Race 5 - South West Rail Solutions Ltd Mares' Handicap Hurdle
SHANTWOPOINTFIVE (3) recorded a comfortable 5L victory at Southwell tackling 4090m. Can continue the strong run of form. ASCENDING LARK (1) resumed from a 301-day spell with a 1L victory in a 3400m hurdle at Newcastle. Fitter now and warrants consideration. MASKED DANCE (2) shaped creditably registering a 7L third at Huntingdon. Not discounted. PRESENTING NELLY (4) might find this tough in view of consecutive unplaced efforts at Ffos Las.

Second-up today. First-up after 10 months favourite; won by 1.0 len Newcastle on January 28 over 3400m slow track defeating Hard As Nails carrying 74kg at $2.30 in a hurdle. Previously second-up favourite; won by 2.25 len Huntingdon on April 25 over 3200m defeating Locken Lady carrying 74kg at $1.60 in a novice hurdle. Fitter for run. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
