Makes her eagerly awaited debut over fences now and she's the one to beat. 1st @ 2\5 - tracked leaders, jumped well, 2nd 4 out, improved to lead travelling well 3 out, went clear before last, stayed on strongly run-in, eased, impressive Abacadabras 13.00 Navan 1 Pt Win @ 6\5 (bog) Highly promising sort. 9/10, career best when winning Grade 3 novice at this course (16f, heavy) 14 days ago, plenty in hand. Step up in trip unlikely to be an issue and he's the one to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
