Youghal Race 9

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $539

AFFANE BLOSSOM (3) has been out of the placings the last couple but was an A6 winner (29.91) three back at this track. Key player on best and worth another chance. CAREFREE MAGIC (5) was well supported last time but could only manage third (30.25), beaten 10 lengths. Deserves a win and gets his chance. OPEE DASHER (1) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when second (29.91) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings seven times from 12 starts. Can feature again. CAVIES CHLOE (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Not keen this time.
