Bangor On Dee Race 5

Bangor-On-Dee Handicap Hurdle

Stake: $19,926

LAND GIRL'S LUCK (2) Kicked clear when winning by 6L last run in a hurdle at Bangor. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. Likely to be well placed early. Goes very close. REAL EMPIRE (3) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Underperformed when 5th last run in a hurdle at Down Royal. Good prospects. G'DAY AUSSIE (4) Charged home to win last start in a hurdle at Worcester and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Always seems to find the line well. Deserves consideration. MRS TABITHA (6) Weakened under pressure when 5th last start in a chase at Warwick. Should improve but dropping in distance. In strong racing shape since resuming from a break. One of the hopes.
