Newton Abbot Race 1 - Devon Air Ambulance Mares' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
MANYANA BLUE (6) placed in two from three career starts over hurdles including at the trip here. Major player with in-form Sam Twiston-Davies retaining the ride. MIDNIGHT PASS (4) delivered a decent second on Worcester bumper debut last month before a sixth at the same venue next time. Market can guide on hurdling bow. NEVER TOLD ME (2) wears a first-time hood and is expected to progress following consecutive fifth place efforts at Uttoxeter and Worcester while IRISANTE (3) cannot be ruled out on her return from a six-month hiatus.

Facing the starter for the third time today. When well supported at debut, held ground to the line finished second of 10 starters at Worcester on July 2 over 3200m, 2 len behind Woodland Adventure with 69kg at $10. Last start came from midfield; finished sixth of 10 runners at Worcester on July 24 over 3200m, 21 len behind Uncle Remus with 66kg at $2.60. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Recent form hard to fault. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last outing rolled along in front setting the pace and then edged out finished second of 11 runners at Uttoxeter on July 27 over 3200m, 7 len behind Dignam carrying 66.5kg at $10. The start before that; finished third in a small field at this track on July 20 over 3400m, 8 len behind Dignam with 66.5kg at $17. Sure to improve again. Top chance at best.
