Ffos Las Race 1 - Blackmores Build Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
INK BLACK HEART (4) achieved good form in three placed efforts attempting jumpers flats. Given a wind operation ahead of this hurdling debut and is open to improvement representing a powerful yard. TAP TAP SHAMIE (1) raced four times hurdling placing in two and winning at Hexham during May. Reappeared after an absence running 4.25L fourth in a handicap at Perth. Back to a novice race and now wearing a hood could take advantage if the main selection is not ready for this. LIRION (5) races for the same yard. Finished fourth providing first outing over obstacles at Ayr in April. Not seen since. BOURBON FLORIDHE (2) is related to winners and debuts for a yard going well.

Racing second-up. First race start finished sixth of 11 runners at Hereford on April 16 over 3200m, 19 len behind My Mate Aj carrying 69kg at $11. Returned from break finished ninth of 11 starters at this track on October 22 over 3200m, on slow going 18 len behind Spanish Stroll carrying 70.5kg at $51.
