Youghal Race 10

525 Yds (A7)

Stake: $640

AFFANE BLOSSOM (5) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage third (30.24) at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Sure to be about the mark. KIND BESSY (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.05) last time in an A7 at this track. Better than last start and can bounce back. DUKES RONNIE (2) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 1.75 lengths (30.12) at this track in A7. Can measure up. SHEBEEN OULSPORT (3) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A7 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Last start finished 3rd in an A7 on August 10 over 480m at this track behind Whitty Island beaten 2.25 lengths (30.24). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good effort last time when third (30.35) over 480m at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just five of 83 starts. Has to do a bit more.
