Taunton Race 3

9 March Dragonbet Festival Fever Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $27,675

BEAUTY IN THE PARK (2) continues to step forward for Paul Nicholls and was a solid runner-up when last seen two and a half weeks ago. This represents her easiest assignment to date and could take beating. QUEENIE ST CLAIR (1) showed dramatic improvement on her debut for Nick Scholfield when last seen a month ago. Takes on a different task under a penalty however she is heading back in the right direction. YELD TO CALL (7) received wind surgery before finishing fourth three weeks ago. Needs to find more improvement. GEORDIES BETTY (4) was third on rules debut and looks one to watch with a view to the future.

Second-up today. Not raced for 39 days. Fresh up after seven months won by 0.8 len Wincanton on December 26 over 3000m defeating Haas Boy with 71kg at $13 in a hurdle. Previously second-up finished sixth of 18 starters at Limerick on December 26 2024 over 3218m, 28 len behind Laafi with 70kg at $151. Can improve on first up performance. Fitter and will be tough to beat.

Third-up today. Resuming finished fifth of 10 starters at Wincanton on December 4 over 4300m, 26 len behind Livingonaprayer with 70kg at $4. Last start finished second of 14 starters at this track on January 17 over 3300m, 0.5 len behind Heron In The Park carrying 69.5kg at $15. Definite winning chance. Well-placed to take this out.

Was at long odds at debut, finished seventh of 9 runners at Fontwell Park on January 11 over 3500m, slow track; 42 len behind Limerick Lass with 71kg at $41. Would have to improve sharply to feature in the finish.

At debut, settled back and ran on when finished sixth of 12 runners at Uttoxeter on December 31 over 3200m, 30 len behind Millstatt Abbey with 72kg at $10. Look for improvement today. Worth plenty of thought on her jumps debut.

The start before that; finished fourth of 10 starters at Warwick on November 20 over 3800m, 11 len behind Dream Shadow with 69.5kg at $34. Has to be included again.
