1.20 Final Furlong Podcast With 1xBet.ie Irish EBF Fillies Maiden 7f

Runner-up on her racecourse debut at Naas recently, Pirate Anne Bonny can open her account. Having raced on the stands side, the Paddy Twomey-trained filly easily ‘won’ that side but found one too strong up the far rail. Given that debutants from her yard tend to improve from their initial start, she looks very much the one to beat.

Fourth over course and distance on her introduction, Chattering Classes holds every chance. Sure to have benefitted from that experience, the Jessica Harrington-trained daughter of Ghaiyyath commands respect.

SELECTION: PIRATE ANNE BONNY

1.55 Bermingham Cameras Irish EBF (C & G) Maiden 7f

Just touched off at Doncaster last month, Hmas Perth can go one better. Having previously run well on his debut in what is traditionally a strong Galway maiden, the Aidan O’Brien-trained colt sets a decent standard. It will be disappointing if he can’t land this before having his sights raised.

Wo Wo Never, who ran well when third on his debut at Gowan, was highly tried in listed class last time. Despite finding the opposition too strong on that occasion, the Wootton Bassett colt has to be a definite contender stepping back into maiden company.

SELECTION: HMAS PERTH

2.30 Coolmore Sioux Nation Concorde Stakes (Listed) 7f

Despite a slight concern about the trip, Irish Cambridgeshire winner Loughrea is taken to continue his progress. An impressive winner of that valuable race over a mile last time, the Andrew Slattery-trained gelding gives the impression he should cope with this shorter distance.

Big Gossey, who ran well when second in a stronger grade here last time, has to be respected. A real course specialist, the veteran grey seldom runs a bad race at this venue.

SELECTION: LOUGHREA

3.05 1xBet.ie Proud Supporters Of Irish Racing Handicap 1m 1f

The Ado McGuinness-trained Johnny Soda can land a fourth win of the campaign. A staying-on third in the Irish Cambridgeshire at this track last month, the son of Cotai Glory should be capable of further progress. With regular rider Adam Caffrey back in the saddle, he can get his head in front.

Truth Be Told has been racing over further in recent starts but has form at this trip. A hold-up horse who needs to get the gaps at the right time, he shouldn’t have those worries in a smaller field.

SELECTION: JOHNNY SODA

3.40 Hailey Equine Irish EBF Brigid’s Pastures Stakes (Listed) 6f

With the Eddie and Patrick Harty string back amongst the winners, Carla Ridge can follow up last year’s success in this race, which came by 10 lengths.

Although she’s run just once in the interim, when a respectable sixth in a seven-furlong Group 3 in May, the daughter of New Bay is sure to have been aimed at a repeat bid since the start of the season.

Royal Bay Cen may just have needed the run when fourth in a Group 3 over course and distance recently, which was her first start since May. Sure to be all the sharper now, the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly would be a serious threat if the rain arrived, given that she was an impressive listed winner on soft.

SELECTION: CARLA RIDGE

Next best: Royal Bay Cen

4.15 Business Plus Handicap 6f

Recent course and distance winner Apothic Red can follow up for trainer Tom McCourt. Again well drawn on this occasion, the Saxon Warrior gelding should be able to get a prominent early position under Sadhbh Tormey before keeping on strongly over this six-furlong trip.

Apache Outlaw should be ideally suited to a strongly run race where he can be delivered late off a fast pace. While Adam Caffrey will almost certainly have to ride for luck, if the gaps appear at the right time he has to hold every chance.

SELECTION: APOTHIC RED

Next best: Apache Outlaw

4.50 Holden Plant Rentals Lady Riders Classic (Q.R.) Handicap 1m 4f

Maeve Brennan can open her account here under Jody Townend. Runner-up at Fairyhouse last time, the Jim Bolger-trained filly has hinted that her turn is near. A lightly-raced daughter of Teofilo, the four-year-old has the services of one of the leading riders in this race.

Recent Clonmel winner Sinbad My Dad will also lack for nothing from the saddle. Georgie Benson knows what it takes to win these races and she looks a significant booking on the Seamus Fahey-trained gelding.

SELECTION: MAEVE BRENNAN

Next best: Sinbad My Dad

5.25 1xBet.ie Proud Partners Of Irish Sport Apprentice Handicap 1m

The Andy Slattery-trained Highbury See See can follow up his win in last year’s renewal. Back on the same mark as when successful 12 months ago, the four-year-old was unlucky in running when second at Listowel recently. He can provide jockey Sam Coen with a crucial win in his bid for the apprentice championship.

Lady Mary Heath has raced over a variety of distances this season, but a mile looks arguably her best trip.

Trainer Aidan Howard has been amongst the winners of late and the daughter of Dragon Pulse looks a strong contender under Jack Cleary.

SELECTION: HIGHBURY SEE SEE
