For two years old fillies only, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible.
About 1 mile 73 yards. Starting from stalls.
RACE PREDICTOR
The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated
(including eg current form, ratings and going.)
PREDICTION: HAPPIEST
RACE VERDICT
Joseph O’Brien runs four here, the only one to have run being Annie’s Angel, who has apprentice championship-seeking Wayne Hassett claiming 5lb, while of the three newcomers riding arrangements suggest that Thilos and Love Is Blind are the better fancied. However, the quartet could be usurped here by HAPPIEST, a couple of lengths ahead of Annie’s Angel at Thurles when still green and who likely has more to offer. Spicy Margarita is worth a market watch. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post

The Barna Recycling Handicap of €11,500 (47-70)
(Generously sponsored by Barna Recycling)
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-70. About 7 furlongs. Starting from stalls.
RACE PREDICTOR
The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)
PREDICTION: SHAWAAMEKH
RACE VERDICT
A case can be made for plenty. The hat-trick seeker Pimstrel should go well again but she’s been handed a tough draw, as has Kinda Tiny, who won this race last year. Preference is for LITTLE KEILEE who finished fourth behind that rival in this in 2023 and is much better off at the weights now. She went close at Roscommon on her penultimate start, she has run well over C&D on heavy more than once and her yard has been amongst the winners. Goldrush Kid is another with claims and Shawaamekh likes it here and has each-way claims at bigger odds. [Dave Stephens] Source: Racing Post

The Galway Handicap of €15,500
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (90 = 10st).
About 1 mile 3 furlongs 180 yards. Starting from stalls.
RACE PREDICTOR
The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)
PREDICTION: ORIOLE
RACE VERDICT
An open looking race. Jabbar has been in fine form and he should go well again if handling the likely testing ground. Alfalfa will be suited by the step back up to this trip and has a chance too. Soul Of Spain has to prove he can be competitive off his current mark and this trip is a worry for Clear Quartz, so it might be worth chancing NARLITA. She was runner-up in this race last year off this mark, she handles heavy ground and her jockey takes off a handy 3lb. Fairy Wings is another one to consider. [Dave Stephens] Source: Racing Post

RACE PREDICTOR
The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)
PREDICTION: CAFE CON LECHE
RACE VERDICT
Many of these have questions to answer. Cafe Con Leche is of obvious interest and should go well, especially if the money comes. Dumb Love is in form and has won on heavy so she is considered and Nans View is another with claims if she stays this longer trip. However, the relatively unexposed 3yo fillies CARRIED WITH LOVE, Saith Siren and Vierson make most appeal with narrow preference for Joseph O’Brien’s charge. She is bred to relish this step up in trip and the testing ground should be fine for her. [Dave Stephens] Source: Racing Post SELECTION: CARRIED WITH LOVE
