Youghal Race 8

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $164

HOLLYHILL MAX (1) is having his first start around this course. In the money last start when second (29.78) at Thurles over 480m. The form out of his last race has been franked. Deserves serious consideration. DOWER PATCH (2) is progressing well scoring last time out (29.64) at this track and bringing up his 4th career win. Sure to be thereabouts. CAVIES TRICIA (3) failed to feature last start after being shuffled back early at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (29.76) beating Dower Queen in an A7 on April 25. Comes out of a hot form race last start. Can measure up this time. HEISENBERG (4) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A4 at Thurles. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored two on the run. Was far too good latest with a 29.64 success over 480m at this track. Will need everything to go right this line-up.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 480m at this track. Before that won by one length at this track (29.58) beating Slaneyside Rian in an A5 on April 27. Hard to have this time.
