Ballinrobe Race 5

P&D Lydon Mares Beginners Chase

Prize Money: $23,985

STRAIGHT HOME (8) won nicely on her final hurdle outing. Managed a respectable third at Tramore on chase debut last month and expecting she'll come on for that run. Looks to hold strong claims. AFFINITY ROCK (2) made the frame all three starts tackling these larger obstacles. Strongly supported at Killarney three weeks ago and well worth giving another go. CARRIED WITH LOVE (3) left the Joseph O'Brien stable after a disappointing run at Leopardstown in February. May improve. GIORGIA ROSE (6) remains a maiden after five starts. Turned a corner before a poor performance here last month and still too early to write her off.

Last start pulled up at Kilbeggan on August 21 over 5230m. The run before pulled up at Galway in the LR MERVUE HANDICAP HURDLE on August 1 over 4526m. Continues to improve. Nicely-placed to make amends.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after three months finished third in a small field at Killarney on August 20 over 4727m, 5 len behind Ballystone carrying 72kg at $2.80. Previously second-up finished second in a small field at Limerick on May 21 over 4023m, 4.5 len behind Look To The West with 68.5kg at $4.50. Fitter and will be tough to beat.

Last outing finished tenth of 16 runners at this track on August 24 over 4526m, 9 len behind Princess Felicia carrying 75.5kg at $23. Run before finished third of 9 starters at Kilbeggan on July 24 over 4928m, 22 len behind Rusty Harkness with 68.5kg at $10. Might find this a bit too tough.

First-up. Finished off last campaign 9 of 15 runners at this track May 26 over 4425m, 69 len behind Jisco Du Brem with 71kg at $15. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Limerick December 29 over 3822m. Harder here and happy to risk fresh in this line-up.
