Clonmel Race 8

Next Race Meeting April 2Nd (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Prize Money: $20,295

SCARECROW (6) wears a tongue strap on debut. Related to several winners and represents powerful connections who have a brilliant strike rate tackling races in this sphere. Likely to prove too good. DETROIT MAVERICK (3) scored on third point to point outing while finished second both starts under rules. All that experience could prove vital and rates the main danger. BRICKFIELD BELLE (8) did well on maiden hurdle outing but was beaten a long way in fifth place at Naas last month. Drops back to a jumpers flat and warrants a market check. BALLYDINE BOY (2) dead-heated on his second start in a point to point and is one to watch.

Second run from a spell 2nd in a small field at Fairyhouse on February 21 over 3319m, in the wet; 5 len behind Look Me carrying 76kg at $3.30. Racing well. Rates highly and sure to play a big role.

Seven-year-old gelding by Altruistic out of Ayeeyei who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Betting is the best pointer to his chances.
