Youghal Race 5

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $552

WITCHES IRIS (3) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was an A7 winner three starts ago and has drawn 3 where she has won before. Key player on best and worth another chance. CORRIN DANNY (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (30.73) last time in an A6 at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Should be in this for a long way. BACKSTORY (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Cavies Champ (30.04) in an A5. Has the pace to be prominent. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from eight starts. Can measure up. VARIETY SPARKLE (6) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.

Finished second last start over 480m at this track behind Cavies Champ in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Top-three hope with the right run.
