Tralee Race Fields - 27th Apr 2024

KNOCKNABOUL SKY (trap 1) may still be on a learning curve round here but is certainly one to keep on side especially in the context of this race. Westwind Donna (trap 5) is expected to improve with further track experience and is a threat. Killeacle Neilus (trap 3) is still adjusting to life here - will the market speak positively about his chances?

KENMARE DREAM (trap 4) would appear pretty solid against this quality of opposition and is fancied to clear away from these before the run for home. Don't be put off by the fact that Cape Jungle (trap 2) lacks a wealth of track knowledge as he can come forward. Feora Danny (trap 5) remains on a learning curve of the venue and looks third best.

While accepting HAWTHORN CHOICE (trap 4) will need her fair share of good fortune, she still rates the most likely winner and is given the nod. Thisisformag (trap 2) will progress with more experience and is rightly feared. Four Days (trap 6) has been dealt a fair hand and this doesn't look a bridge too far.

After much deliberating over this contest, the vote eventually went to CROSSFIELD ENZO (trap 1), on the basis that he can prevail with a degree of luck. For all the fact that Blue Cactus (trap 4) is not the most experienced round here, a big run is possible.. Ballydorgan Anna (trap 2) could make the frame with experience of these surroundings.

MARCONI THUNDER (trap 2) fairly leaps off the page in this line-up and she will leave many punters scratching their heads if she doesn't soon stamp her authority on matters. A solid performance is expected from Come Back Misty (trap 5), but is she good enough to chin the selection? Going by what he has shown in trials, Lucky Treasure (trap 1) can play a part and make the frame.

The tide can turn in the favour of SLIPPY BRETT (trap 2) as he should just need to avoid the rough seas early on to account for these rivals. Zari Betty (trap 4) is clearly one to keep an eye on being exposed round here and rates a danger. Cul Na Braithre (trap 5) has scant course knowledge so improvement is likely.

ECHO FAITH (trap 2) is well worth an interest to get the job done against these rivals. Providing she remains trouble-free in the race, she should do the business. The claims of Maries Boy (trap 1) making the frame look solid and she may chase the selection home. The true picture of the complete ability of Gentle Winnie (trap 5) remains unclear.

The gold medal is very much up for grabs here and KILLEACLE BRIAN (trap 4) could well be the one that bags the main prize as he does have a good profile. If Shronedraugh Kid (trap 3) gets a decent-enough break from the three-box, he would go very close indeed. Feohanagh Fred (trap 6) is one of a few possibilities as he shouldn't be shy at the business end.

Supporters of DELIGHTFUL MAISE (trap 4) will be hoping he turns up with his A-game as this contest is very much for the taking if he does so. There should be a few ripples in the ring for Coolavanny Maizy (trap 2), who can certainly make a play for gold. Track inexperience is a negative for Caoimhes Dream (trap 5), but his trials were above-average.
