Cork Race 2

Goldcrop Rated Novice Hurdle

Prize Money: $26,752

SPINOLA BAY (3) maintains form seeking third victory in under a month. Showed a great attitude to fend off rivals by a neck at Leopardstown last time and rates as the one to beat again. ZUZUKEL (8) pulled clear of the field only to be denied a nose from shedding the maiden tag at Punchestown last time. No surprise to see him go one better. YOULITA (6) has been off the track for eight months since a 1.5L win at Downpatrick. These conditions to suit while won fresh previously. Easy to fancy. GLENRUSH BAY (4) posted best effort yet when a 23L second at Thurles last time. Interesting if building upon that. Holds big each way claims. Something for the Multiples: KAMINO BELLO (1)

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming favourite; won by 2.5 len Navan on December 14 over 3218m defeating Theflyingbee carrying 65.5kg at $7.50 in a hurdle. Second-up favourite; won by a neck Leopardstown on December 26 over 3218m defeating Money Dancer with 69kg at $4.50 in a novice hurdle. Found best form now. Rates strongly on recent form and expected to go close again.

When resuming last campaign 6 of 21 starters at Punchestown February 20 over 3822m, slow track; 38 len behind Cardcounter with 75.5kg at $21. Makes plenty of appeal.
