Wexford Race 1

Wexford Claiming Hurdle

Stake: $19,926

REDWOOD QUEEN (3) brings solid hurdle form of five wins from eight runs under Philip Byrnes. Thereabouts racing second-up. BEACON EDGE (1) is a dual G2 winner last seen delivering a respectable midfield effort in the William Hill Hurdle G3 at Aintree last month. Danger down in trip. SINGLE EDITION (7) was prominent before falling on reappearance at Tramore. Could bounce back with a bold bid. MUST MEET CECIL (2) has four victories after seven starts in cheekpieces. Feared.

Third-up today. First-up won by 0.5 len Tramore on April 14 over 3319m defeating Darkened carrying 69.5kg at $5 in a hurdle. Last start raced on the pace prior to fading finished eighth of 9 runners at Killarney on May 11 over 3419m, 25 len behind Batman Girac with 65.5kg at $7.50. Continues to improve. Certainly worth another chance.

Racing second-up today. Freshened for 45 days. First-up after five months didn't finish the race at Tramore on April 13 over 3118m. Previously second-up ran last at Sligo on August 8 over 3621m, on slow going 33 len behind Dollar Value with 65kg at $10. Forgive first-up failure. Looks very hard to beat.
