Ripon Race 2 - Racing For Tamara Ripon Hornblower Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
ROGUE JEWEL (5) made an impressive start to her career scoring on debut over 1200m at York three weeks ago. She looks promising with further improvement to come. Could measure up again. GREEN BAY DREAM (3) showed plenty of ability debuting second tackling 1200m at this track beaten 4.5L. Entitled to improve. Looks a leading contender. DOES MARY KNOW (2) was safely held when a debutante sixth trying 1200m at Goodwood. Should strip fitter holding plenty of scope for improvement. TAJ MAHAL PALACE (4) wasn't beaten far on initial outing attempting 1000m at Beverley. Top three claims raised in trip.

Was at long odds at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on July 27 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Pure Mint with 59kg at $34. Will derive great benefit from that outing and looks the testing material.

Claiming her maiden victory on debut; won by a nose at York on July 25 over 1200m defeating Gladys Pugh with 58kg at $12. Likely improver who looks hard to beat again.
