Tralee Race Fields - 21st Nov 2023

Drumshanbo Dream (trap 4) is fully expected to be on the premises when push comes to shove. Causeway Teddy (trap 5) will need things to go his way but he is not out of it by any means.

On all known form, OUTDOOR LEGEND (trap 5) is the one most likely to be bossing these when it matters and she will certainly be floating a few boats here. If remains to be seen if Lassinagh Kimi (trap 4) is in her comfort zone with this make-up, but she is still a threat. Headleys Oliver (trap 3) shouldn't be a stranger against these and has a squeak.

LAHORE PRINCE (trap 6) isn't one that the bookmakers go out to lay and they are likely to adopt a cautions approach for what is a winning opportunity. The cash is often down on Chlas Bandit (trap 1) and he has a solid chance of repaying the support. The ability of Droop Jet (trap 5) dictates he will be supported again but he needs a little luck.

Nothing is ever easy in this game, but LOHER RON (trap 4) looks to hold a more concrete chance than some of the others, so he gets the vote. The money is quite often down on Swan Blue (trap 2), who looks the biggest danger. Kilcurra Abbey (trap 5) would be a player if getting away to a fairly good start.

Such has been the impression created by DATARTANSHAMROCK (trap 4), he is often backed blind and that may not be a bad approach to this contest. Orange vest Baltovin Tumble (trap 5) will need to avoid being crushed but has the ability to play a big part. Punters swarm round Millridge Lily (trap 6) like bees around honey, but they may come unstuck.

The claims of SLIPPY RICHIE (trap 2) look pretty obvious in this line-up and his backers will be extremely hopeful he can grind these rivals into submission. Ballymurphy Lady (trap 1) can pay her way in the coming weeks and should not be far away from the top loot. Castillo Black (trap 6) could give the principals a few scary moments but probably needs a clear.

The claims of SEND IT PINE (trap 1) in this contest are as clear as the nose on your face and he should be the first to greet the judge.

Devon Wonder (trap 2) can give value for money, especially for those looking for a tricast mixer.

LISSYCASEY MINI (trap 1) looks the part in this line-up and her backers are entitled to be brimming with confidence that she can be in control where it counts. Tanvalley Tess (trap 2) should attract support as she is capable of giving the selection a run for their money.

The cash will be burning holes in many a punter's pocket as SEND IT HANNA (trap 3) looks to have this contest at her mercy and she could find it a stroll in the park. Eridani Cursa (trap 6) has no weaving in and out to do from this good pitch out wide and she is a threat. Manhattan (trap 4) is tempting and she should certainly be making the numbers.

Punters usually want a piece of the action when it comes to DARRAGHS WINK (trap 2) and those investments could well be rewarded today. The support seems unrelenting for Smart Susie (trap 1), who makes fairly good appeal. Further skinny offerings are expected from the bookies on Lissycasey Flor (trap 6) - no value?
