Mullingar Race 1

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $607

DRINANE SYDNEY (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.60 beating Shoemakersfriend. Great chance to get the job done again. FAHY SHOP (3) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (30.26) but scored five back at this track (29.19). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings eight times from 10 starts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. COONOUGH MAID (2) was well in the market last time but only managed sixth (1:39.99), beaten 46 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from five starts. Should be in this for a long way. SCARLET SMURPH (1) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last in an A4 on September 12 over 480m at this track behind Killeshil Devine beaten 46 lengths (1:39.99). Well placed and among the chances here.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.60, beating Shoemakersfriend. Can make it two on the bounce.
