Youghal Race 9

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $543

BALLINMUCK MICK (6) ran below best last time finishing fifth (29.98) over 480m at this track from Box 6. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from five starts. Tough to beat if on-song. WITCHES WEST (4) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 29.76 beating Mary Jo. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Will go close again if runs up to latest. CAVIES CHAMP (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fourth (30.06) at this track latest. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. One of the better chances. SLANEYSIDE RIAN (5) was well supported last time but could only manage third (29.81), beaten 3 lengths. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in an A6 on April 4 over 480m at this track behind Carefree Magic beaten 4 lengths (30.06). Is a danger.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.76, beating Mary Jo. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 3 lengths, last start in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.81). In solid form and can win without surprising.
