Curraheen Park Race Fields - 26th Apr 2024

On all known recent form, KRANKY JACKIE (trap 1) is the one they all have to beat. With a clear run, he will take plenty of holding at crunch time. Makeadifference (trap 6) will be better for further track experience, but his qualifying spins weren't at all bad. Sportsmans Rosa (trap 5) caught the eye in trials and shouldn't be hanging around this grade for long.

The tide can turn in the favour of FENCING DONE (trap 4) as he should just need to avoid the rough seas early on to account for these rivals. From The North (trap 3) can certainly keep the selection busy but may not have their measure. Bally Crystal (trap 1) will improve for course knowledge but may still make the frame.

PARCHMENTS SHARK (trap 3) has more scope than most so is worth noting in the market. If the money comes, it could be wise to join in. Father Jack (trap 2) may still be settling into newish surroundings but doesn't have much to find. Danielles Kaiyan (trap 4) will be hunting out a medal at the death and could earn one.

On all known form, SPORTSMANS BAR (trap 3) is the one most likely to be bossing these when it matters and she will certainly be floating a few boats here. There should be plenty of faith behind Boxing Friends (trap 6) delivering a big run and he is feared. Quivers Drama (trap 2) is equipped to ask these one or two questions with a trouble-free passage.

TIMES TICKING (trap 3) looks significantly better than this bunch and she can be expected to hear the yells of 'oi oi' from the terraces a long way from home. A solid run can be expected from Steeple Rd Rocky (trap 6), but will it be enough to topple the selection? Lahana Sydney (trap 2) doesn't have a great draw, but is a runner with a hassle-free run.

TARMONS MISSILE (trap 4) can be expected to take the chequered flag first in this contest providing she doesn't get in a pickle early doors. With the possibility of general crowding, Jackos Dog (trap 1) could well exploit his cosy-looking rails pitch. Respect Southwind Aki (trap 3), especially if he generates a few ripples in the betting ring.

This looks a perfect opportunity for SENAHEL BEAUTY (trap 1), whose name can be on the winner's cheque if things go according to plan from the outset. Topside Joyful (trap 3) isn't guaranteed a run as drawn but she would make the selection sweat if getting one. The true extent of what Satin Tango (trap 2) is capable of remains hidden so she is for considering.

RAFAS BEST (trap 2) is certainly one of the leading hopes in this contest and she will hopefully get the job done by kicking in the turbo mid-race. Exit Seventeen (trap 1) shouldn't be leaving empty handed and is capable of putting it up to the selection. Topside Ozz (trap 6) needs to clear those on his immediate inside but could go well if doing so.
