Newton Abbot Race 1 - Stock Exe Building Supplies Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
LADY KARA (1) finally got off the mark on the ninth attempt at Hereford a fortnight ago and won decisively scoring by 9L. Should be capable of defying the penalty and this looks realistic. FRENATI (6) goes hurdling for the first time having finished second at this track Easter Saturday. Open to plenty of improvement representing good stable. LADY LITIGATOR (7) has been highly tried since winning at Newbury in December. Looks the type to go on further now switching to hurdles and rates highly. PRINCESS OF BALLEA (9) has shown varying degrees of promise in all three starts and is worth noting in the market.

Racing well. Last run favourite; won by 9 len Hereford on May 12 over 3900m defeating Kittys Glance carrying 68.5kg at $1.50 in a hurdle. Race before finished third of 7 starters at Fakenham on May 4 over 4000m, 7 len behind Mighty Fleur carrying 71kg at $10. Definite winning chance. Ideally placed to win again.

Third-up today. First-up finished seventh of 10 runners at Sandown Park in the LR on March 7 over 3200m, slow track; 23 len behind Ti'mamzel carrying 71kg at $26. Last start finished fifth of 13 starters at Warwick on May 4 over 3200m, 18 len behind Crystal Days carrying 71kg at $8.50. Below par lately but has some claims on best form.

Was at very long odds at debut, didn't finish the race at this track on May 13 over 3400m. Won't feature here without major improvement off that run.
