Thirsk Race 1 - British Ebf Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
The front three in the market look difficult to separate in this competitive event. HAPINESS (3) is a Newmarket raider who almost saw it out from the front on debut at Chepstow (2000m) last month. Should take plenty form that experience. Every chance. HELLO FRIEND (4) made a promising start over 2500m on the all-weather in latest finishing 1.25L second. Ought to step forward from that. TALITHA ROUGE (5) was 1L off the winner in third racing first up at Redcar (2000m, good to firm) recently. Likely to contend. COUNTER INTUITIVE (1) seems to be a work in progress so far and will probably find the step up in trip favourable.

Third race start. First start eased back early on 8th of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather on November 5 over 1600m, 13 len behind Abashiri carrying 58kg at $9.50. Returned from break 6th of 11 at Salisbury on May 14 over 2000m, 6 len behind Pierian carrying 57.5kg at $13. Strips fitter and is among the chances.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at Chepstow on May 21 over 2000m, neck behind Battle Of Maldon carrying 56kg at $4. Better for that experience and likely to be highly competitive again.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on May 19 over 2500m, 1.3 len behind Littlecote carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. Shows ability and expected to improve. Expected to go well with that run under her belt.
