Thirsk Race 2 - British EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
TOWN QUEEN (5) finished runner-up on first career appearance losing by 1L attempting a 1200m novice race at Pontefract eleven days ago. Represents a stable noted for their two-year-old runners. May go one better. DISTANT SHORE (1) aims to remain unbeaten after dead-heating on debut attempting a 1200m novice race at Salisbury last July. Interesting following an elongated break. KARVALA (2) disappointed slightly providing first career outing in a novice event at Haydock Park. Improvement expected racing second-up. PERFECT RULER (3) has competed twice. Failed to place including missing the placings when fourth contesting a Doncaster maiden. Will be thereabouts.

Third race start. First start eased back early on 7th of 11 at Haydock Park on October 17 over 1200m, 12 len behind Splish Splash with 58kg at $23. Went for a break before returning 5th of 8 at Southwell All Weather on April 7 over 1400m, 3 len behind Confide In Me carrying 58kg at $4.50. Solid top-three chance with a repeat of that latest performance.
