Thirsk Race 5 - David Lever Memorial Maiden Fillies' Stakes (Gbb Race)
TARDAFF (7) showed plenty of promise on second outing nineteen days ago when 2.5L runner-up in a Newmarket novice race over this distance. Promising chance. BETTE DAVIS EYES (3) profiles well on paper being a three-year-old filly by Blue Point from Mokaraba. Makes plenty of appeal. BLACKWATER LILLY (2) won a 3400m maiden hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee three starts back. Worth a market check. EXPOSAY (4) might improve.

Was at long odds at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Wolverhampton on June 16 over 1740m, 12 len behind Model Yuko carrying 58kg at $29. Makes appeal with progress expected.
