Cork Race 8

Cork & Waterford Mares Point-To-Point Flat Race

Prize Money: $20,295

TINTARA (7) placed third on two occasions prior to failing when pulling up five days ago. Both attempts were in point-to-points and making first appearance on the racecourse can bounce back. WILTON MILLS TRIER (8) is looking to remain unbeaten after winning on first career start by 1.5L contesting a point-to-point during December. Interesting following a break and provides first start on the racetrack. Will be thereabouts. BORN BELIEVING (1) also looks to remain unbeaten having gained a 2.5L success. Wears a first-time tongue-tie. Might double up. LUCKY VALLEY (5) cannot be discounted being a 1.5L winner delivering penultimate outing in a point-to-point.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 13 at Ballynoe P2p on March 22 over 4828m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Ballynattin Blue with 57.5kg. The race before that 2nd of 8 at Knockanohill P2p on March 15 over 4828m, 2.5 len behind Lady Jetfire with 57.5kg. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here.
