Youghal Race 3

525 Yds (A4)

Stake: $646

WITCHES COOGEE (4) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3.5 lengths away in third (29.37). The form from her last run stacks up well. Well placed and gets her chance. BARNFIELD MUSIC (1) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 5th (29.73) at this track. In the mix. CAREFREE RAVEN (3) had been super consistent recording five placings in a row before she was rewarded with a win last time, scoring at this track over 480m (29.37). Great chance to get the job done again. SLAHENY STEEPLE (6) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 2.5 lengths away in second (29.46). Likely to be in the finish again.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last over 480m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (29.73) behind Slaneyside Elena in an A4 on April 7. Happy enough to avoid.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last three starts, the latest when third (29.37) over 480m at this track. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
