Taunton Race 7 - Byd Taunton Open Maiden Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
BIG BOY BARNEY (1) ran with plenty of credit when beaten 7L following a break. Deeper field but given a huge chance. CALVINO (2) remains a maiden after two attempts. Finished sixth over 3200m in latest. Might get involved. LOOTENAY (7) is yet to show ability. This is not the toughest opposition so could do better. DARING TO DREAM (8) makes racecourse debut in what looks a difficult ask. Market to guide.

Went for a break before returning second last of 7 at Chepstow on March 20 over 3200m, 22 len behind Hurricane Pat carrying 71kg at $5. Strips fitter and will be tough to beat.
