Thurles Race 3 - I.n.h. Stallion Owners Ebf Novice Hurdle
MINELLA SIXO (1) caught the eye on rules debut winning by 8L at Fairyhouse before confirming that promise with a smart second in a 4000m novices hurdle at Cheltenham (UK). The winner scored among G2 company since to boost form. Looks hard to beat. MISTER PINK (2) found success by 1.5L attempting a Punchestown 4000m maiden hurdle. Represents a top yard. Rates highly. BORN BRIGHT (3) drops back down in grade. Won a Fairyhouse 4000m maiden hurdle two runs ago. Holds claims. LOVE LIKE THIS (4) might fill fourth spot.

Impressive in recent runs. Last run finished fourth in a small field at Cork in the LR 4yo+ OPEN on November 3 over 4928m, 95 len behind Oscars Brother carrying 66.5kg at $81. The run to post a big 3.5 len win. Fairyhouse 4yo+ MHDLE on October 12 over 4123m defeating Lady Nightingale carrying 67.5kg at $17 in a hurdle. Sure to improve again. Has to be included again.
