Thirsk Race 3 - Peter Bell Memorial Fillies' Nursery
LEXINGTON EXPRESS (5) recorded a career best when third on handicap debut at Chepstow missing by 0.5L. Will be thereabouts once more. POPTY PING (2) was runner-up at Newcastle AW two starts ago managing a fourth at Ripon last month. Can bounce back delivering initial handicap outing. HARSWELL RIVER (7) finished 0.5L fourth last week at Southwell AW following a third at Catterick. Potential. MOO DENG (4) rounds out the shortlist.

Last start got back early 3rd in a small field at Chepstow on July 25 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Dubai Time carrying 61kg at $5.50. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Ripon on July 7 over 1200m, 9 len behind Daneh Of Dandy with 57kg at $8.50. Heading in the right direction and looks hard to beat.
