Ballinrobe Race 4

Mchale Tiger Roll Beginners Chase

Prize Money: $20,295

WESTPORT COVE (10) was sent off as favourite when fourth in a much stronger race tackling the trip at Plumpton last month. Similar effort could see him open his chasing account. LE COQ HARDI (6) delivered a decent runner-up performance on initial chase outing at Tipperary earlier in the month and holds obvious winning appeal second-up. The Listed winning AL GASPARO (1) is two from three over the distance and warrants respect making chase debut. Reappearing AN MHI (2) is worth a market check providing first attempt chasing.

Comments

Freshened for 35 days. Last start finished ninth of 15 starters at Cork on April 21 over 4928m, 36 len behind Drive On Jimmey with 75.5kg at $26. Race before finished fourth of 13 runners at Liscarroll P2p on March 30 over 4828m, 13 len behind Bartlemy Boy with 60kg. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last preparation finished 12th of 15 runners at Down Royal on March 17 over 3419m, 89 len behind Glenashling carrying 70.5kg at $51. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Quakerstown P2p on December 4 2022 over 4828m. Would need to be at best to feature.

Recent form impressive for this race. Freshened for 35 days. Last run finished fourth of 10 runners at Plumpton on April 21 over 3419m, 5 len behind Sans Bruit with 70.5kg at $4.60. The run before finished second of 8 starters at Wexford on April 4 over 3218m, a neck behind Aspire Tower with 75.5kg at $2.50. This suits and will be tough to beat.
