Ballinrobe Race 1

Ronan & Tom Gibbons Memorial Apprentice Claiming Race

Prize Money: $15,260

DELUSIONAL (3) placed twice from seven career outings. Probably best judged on his penultimate start third of eleven effort over 2210m at Killarney. Foregoes the visor for a first-time blinkers and eye-shield combination. Serious player down in distance. Lucky Vega filly ZITKALA SA (4) improved for a 3.5L third tackling the trip on Gowran Park handicap debut latest. Further progress likely off the same mark. Main danger. FEMME BEAUTY (1) opened her account last month at Killarney and arrives fresh from a solid third under Max Popan at Limerick twelve-days-ago. Shortlist. CAMECLOSE (6) could run into the placings. Something for the Multiples: BALANCE OF TRADE (5)
