Yarmouth Race Fields - 15th May 2024

A podium finish should be something of a formality for PLACID PEARL (trap 6) against these and she may not need too much to happen to get the job done. The winning run of Lou Ten (trap 1) sets a fair standard, so he looks the chief threat. Decoy Desire (trap 5) has some sort of chance if quickly on the case.

BLACKIES PEARL (trap 5) can be expected to be in the front rank charging to the judge and her supporters will be hopeful she can be in front when it matters. Riverside Maisie (trap 6) has leading claims and it will be disappointing if she doesn't figure at some stage. Says You Showoff (trap 2) is looking to blaze a trail and slip the pack.

Demand is expected to be high for CARTWRIGHTS LAD (trap 2) hence the odds on reward won't be too attractive. On form though, he is very hard to oppose. Pennys Oxo (trap 5) should be involved in the finish and is a leading contender. Marroway Boy (trap 4) is a player of sorts, while the rest look up against it.

GRANARD SPUD (trap 2) is capable of ringing the bell against these and should only need to enjoy a trouble-free run to put these opponents in the shade. That recent victory will have done No Communication (trap 4) plenty of good and she looks a real contender. Crossfield Grace (trap 6) could be on the premises when push comes to shove.

SNOOZING SNAIL (trap 4) has outstanding claims and rates the dot on the card. With a trouble-free run, she can have these rivals at arms length where it matters. It's easy being encouraged by the recent win of Drumdoit Ginger (trap 5), who is fancied to chase the tip home. Another Tommy (trap 2) has a less demanding task so comes into the reckoning.

No mega odds will be on offer about SHEBEEN DANA (trap 4) today but a mega run is expected as these rivals look unlikely to offer up much resistance. There's no reason why Gone To Rome (trap 1) shouldn't run a big race and put it up to the selection. Give Me Sausage (trap 5) has a bit of pressure removed and should at least make the frame.

LAUGH ALOT (trap 3) is the obvious one and she should prevail with a degree of good fortune around the opening turns. Droopys Eimear (trap 2) has a good opportunity especially if enjoying nominal good fortune en route. Punters may come for Drumdoit Bear (trap 5) again, take note if they do.

KILCASH BELL (trap 3) will have to be apprehended if making a swift getaway and she may not get picked up by anything in this field if that is the case. Raindrops (trap 6) was recently in the winner's enclosure, but may just miss out this time. Dance Petro (trap 2) can brag about a recent win and shouldn't be underestimated.

DRUMDOIT BUSTER (trap 3) is expected to be one of the shorter priced runners of the meeting given the obvious chance he appears to have been given. If Da Good Genes (trap 5) can lead these a merry dance from the outset, she would be dangerous. Drumdoit Nala (trap 2) can attract support but needs plenty to fall right.

COME ASYOUARE (trap 6) is often one of the focal points in the ring and today should be no exception as a clear run may be all that's required in this. Optic Bucks (trap 4) should be more in his comfort zone here and rates the biggest danger. Always Along (trap 1) is a runner but could be relying on the mistakes of others.

The chance of SMORES (trap 5) shouldn't be underestimated and, with a trouble-free passage looking likely, he gets the nod to hit the tape first. The bookies are often cautious when it comes to Droopys Colin (trap 1) and he is deemed a threat. The current form of Droopys Oaklynn (trap 3) can't be knocked.

With good reason the shrewd judges will be sniffing around RAPIDO PIPER (trap 1) as he seems to hold an ability superiority over the rest of the field. Table Talk (trap 4) loves life when donning this colour vest and can give another solid account. Rapido Wilson (trap 2) is a rocking and a rolling at the moment, so don't completely rule out.
