Pelaw Grange Race Fields - 12th Jan 2025

BUICKS HOPE (trap 3) is often in demand for this type of contest and there's unlikely to be any let up here as she has a definite chance to leave these toiling. Emers Maeve (trap 6) should be on the premises when push comes to shove. Darcy Gunner (trap 4) has a good opportunity and shouldn't leave empty-handed.

Even though FAGANS PEGGY (trap 4) has little experience here that may not prove problematic in a race of this nature. Indeed, she gets the vote. Adamant Elsa (trap 2) has less to do on the ratings and won't be beaten through a lack of trying. Tromora Whispa (trap 6) can be thereabouts and looks a combination mixer.

Her season date suggests improvement is on the horizon, so WOR CILLA (trap 3) looks the one to side with here. Glengiblin Henry (trap 2) will appreciate this drop in class and can be the one to chase the selection home. Ballybeg Ash (trap 4) has a good initial spurt of speed. The rest are hard to fancy.

TROMORA MEG (trap 1) makes plenty of appeal to those who enjoy getting stuck into a short one, as she ticks plenty of the right boxes against these. Tromora Goal (trap 2) led them home recently but may have to settle for second best this time. Angel Rose (trap 3) is highly respected on the back of her recent win.

COPACABANA (trap 5) annexed top prize despite not enjoying the clearest of runs latest and could well be equal to this slightly tougher task. Theos Range (trap 1) is a live danger now he is taking a step down the graded ladder. The confidence behind Footfield Sarah (trap 6) creeps up a little with the class drop.

Don't go expecting too much value for BALLYCIAN BABY (trap 3) today as her chance looks pretty standout and she will take some stopping with a run. Hillside Lily (trap 1) is one of the leading players and can give the selection most to do. Glengiblin Frank (trap 2) is one of several possibles, especially if getting the rub of the green.

TANEISHA (trap 3) should be making plenty of noise both in the ring and on the track and she could run out a comfortable winner with her share of luck. Sharp Royd (trap 6) will be raring to go and will keep the selection up to their work if leading off. Lynnia Lass (trap 4) has got the bit between her teeth and should figure.

There may be no life-changing odds around for TROOPER MCEVOY (trap 2) today, but he looks to hold all the aces in this contest and can get the job done. Sandyhill Jess (trap 4) should be in the thick of things at the line and is afforded plenty of respect. Mad Woman (trap 5) can make a contribution but may ultimately have to settle for the minor prize.

On all known form, TROMORA GRACE (trap 5) is the one most likely to be bossing these when it matters and she will certainly be floating a few boats here. Footfield Petal (trap 2) shouldn't be too far away at the death and looks solid for the forecast money. If Bit View Salah (trap 3) can escape from the midfield draw, then he can play a part.

SYDS SMURPH (trap 3) has a clear cut chance on the formbook and she is unlikely to come up empty if giving this 100 per cent effort from the outset. Ballintemple Ann (trap 2) can brag about a recent win and with any improvement she would surely rate a danger. Tromora Supreme (trap 4) makes a fair bit of appeal and won't be far away at the death.

The expectation is that shrewd punters will be champing at the bit to lump on SAMBA ROXY (trap 3) as she really does shout 'back me' in this particular line-up. Glengiblin Bella (trap 6) is being backed with good reason and is a leading player for sure. The trial work of Newline Hoffa (trap 1) has been encouraging so his claims can't be entirely dismissed.

FOOTFIELD SQUEAK (trap 4) can be first to clap eyes on the winning line here providing he is in there pitching as the contest really starts to unfold. Hellofanight (trap 1) has an obvious chance and won't be far away barring accidents. Recent winner Glengiblinbadger (trap 2) knows the score and shouldn't be underestimated.

HAYWARDS OLIVIA (trap 4) will be attempting to slip round not only unscathed but also in the driving seat and she will take some beating if doing so. Petes Wallet (trap 5) will be putting all of her eggs in the one basket and hoping to poach a sizeable lead. Glengiblin Jet (trap 1) is a runner but could be relying on the mistakes of others.

It will be disappointing if ARDERA HONCHO (trap 1) can't pick up a medal of some description and it could be gold if things go to plan. Plan Of Attack (trap 2) is likely to be hungry for more following his recent win and is a live danger. Slaneyside Major (trap 3) can be involved at the close of play and make the frame.
