Thirsk Race 3

British Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $12,915

CASHBOX (8) improved from a debut eighth to producing a runner-up effort on most recent appearance at Brighton. Could go one better and make it third time lucky. BE THE STANDARD (2) placed both starts so far with a third when debuting and a second a fortnight ago at Newbury. Will be thereabouts. MAGICAL MERLOT (4) finished sixth providing first career outing at Newbury. More to come. BIG SONG (1) shed the maiden tag by a nose in latest at Epsom Downs. Might double up.

Comments

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Haydock Park on July 19 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Birgham Dub carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 7 at Newbury on August 15 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Bow Echo with 60.5kg at $7. Can push forward again and he will prove tough to beat.
