Mullingar Race 4

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $694

MARINAS BENJI (1) is a progressive type who recorded his 18th career win last time out (29.22) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning nine races. Goes very well from this draw with 10 wins and eight minor placings from 23 starts. Looks the one to beat. DRINANE SYDNEY (2) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage second (29.12) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Overdue and is among the main hopes. HOME CIARA (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (29.69) at this track. Must be included in calculations. KILLESHIL DEVINE (5) must be respected at his pet distance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a head over 480m at this track in a handy 29.22, beating Pat The Doc. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.12). Can continue the solid form.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.
