Newton Abbot Race 1

Devon Air Ambulance Mares' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Stake: $17,093

MANYANA BLUE (6) placed in two from three hurdle career starts including over the distance here. Major player with the in-form Sam Twiston-Davies retaining the ride. MIDNIGHT PASS (4) produced a decent second on Worcester jumpers flat debut last month before a sixth at the same venue next time. Market to guide delivering initial hurdle outing. NEVER TOLD ME (2) wears a first-time hood and is expected to progress following consecutive fifth place efforts at Uttoxeter and Worcester. IRISANTE (3) cannot be ruled out returning from a six-month hiatus.

Recent form hard to fault. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last outing rolled along in front setting the pace and then edged out finished second of 11 runners at Uttoxeter on July 27 over 3200m, 7 len behind Dignam carrying 66.5kg at $10. The start before that; finished third in a small field at this track on July 20 over 3400m, 8 len behind Dignam with 66.5kg at $17. Great chance to go one better.
