Pontefract Race 3

Darley Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $73,800

BLESSED STAR (1) finished second delivering first three outings last year. Creditable third tackling this trip at Ripon on her final juvenile start. Will have a 275-day absence to overcome. Form has generally worked out well and holds sound claims. WUJJOOD (6) attracted market support before finishing third debuting at Salisbury (2011m) when ultimately well held. Might do better down in trip. Significant improvement possible. Debutante Lope De Vega filly RADIANT JEWEL (5) looks good on paper. Market check advised. EMPIRE POWER (3) is another to consider following a creditable Wetherby third over 1408m.

First-starter by Sixties Icon out of Miss Meticulous. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Comments
Was well-supported at debut, in a small field at Salisbury on June 15 over 2000m, 7 len behind Nanino Niyati carrying 58kg at $1.80. Should come on following that hit-out and likely to be highly competitive again.
