Mullingar Race 9

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $575

HOME CIARA (4) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (29.53) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Looks to have an edge on most of these. SHOEMAKERSFRIEND (6) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 480m behind Royal Black (30.48) in an A5. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. CUSHIE SPITFIRE (2) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 17 from 33 starts. Filled a minor placings again last time when third (30.13) at this track making it three placings in a row. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. PHOENIX TIMMY (3) is very honest and looms as a strong top-three hope again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last three starts, the latest when third (30.13) over 480m at this track. Looks a solid contender.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 5.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.53, beating Kuma Rhaenyra. Can make it back to back wins.
