Youghal Race 3

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $604

KNOCKGLASS FLASH (6) is a talented type who notched his 19th career success when too good (29.43) at this track last time. Solid record here at the distance winning 19 races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Form reads well for this. SPITFIRE JOY (3) has a strong record this trip with six wins and five placings from 14 starts. Scored by 3 lengths last time (29.74) in an A4 over 480m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. HOLLYHILL RALPH (1) was rewarded for his honesty after two minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 480m (29.36). Can make it back-to-back wins. MIRACLE MOMENT (2) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage fourth (29.86) at this track. The form out of last race has been strong.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (29.86) behind Famous Champ in an A4 on August 4. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 480m at this track. Before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (29.30) beating Dower Mack in an A4 on July 26. This looks too tough.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. This will test.
