Sligo Race 1

Carlsberg Optional Claiming Race

Stake: $20,110

CAPITAL THEORY (4) finished 0.5L second on return at Ballinrobe over 1911m. Can benefit from the step up in distance and is capable of going one better. POWERFUL HOOK HEAD (8) was 2L fourth last time tackling 1609m at Killarney. Warrants consideration advancing in distance. LOINGSEOIR (1) underperformed recently. Can improve following a modest twelfth attempting 1709m at Galway. QUATRAIN (3) might fill fourth spot.
