Cork Race 6

Rbc Brewin Dolphin Hurdle

Stake: $33,874

PRAIRIE DANCER (5) could prove hard to beat on the back of a strong 1.5L win on the flat over 2414m at the Curragh last time. Capable of going back-to-back now switched to jumps. TAG MAN (3) will appreciate the ease in standard having disappointed in Listed company on penultimate outing before finishing 11L second in a 4828m Wexford hurdle. Warrants consideration. REVEREND HUBERT (6) holds claims in view of market support. HAPPY JACKY (1) is a course and distance winner and cannot be dismissed.

Comments
Useful type. Last start finished third of 25 starters at Curragh on June 29 over 3218m, 1.3 len behind Lot Of Joy with 51.5kg at $21. The run before finished seventh of 15 runners at Ballinrobe in the LR on May 26 over 4727m, 19 len behind Western Fold carrying 68.5kg at $4.50. Found his best form now. Sure to prove hard to beat.

3218m - 4928m

Comments
Last outing didn't finish the race at Bellewstown on July 5 over 4928m. Before that finished seventh of 10 starters at Killarney on May 12 over 4023m, 32 len behind My Gaffer carrying 70kg at $9. Others read better. Might find this a bit too tough.
