7:12 Ballinrobe Tips

I thought that Lariat was perhaps a shade unlucky when getting a squeezed out sixth on the flat last time out. A similar effort here should see him go close.

The Sydney Cruiser lines up here with the highest RPR of the 16-runner field but has an official ranking that leaves him very well treated off this mark. Steps out carrying the second lowest weight over this slightly longer 2m 6f trip. Alex Harvey on board relieves a further 5 lbs, which is helpful on the slightly longer distance. The model has issued a 'very low' stake indicator, which translates to a 0.5pt bet on a scale of 0-4.

Scottish Dancer comes into this one today after a break. He had some good runs before with a win, a third, and two seconds. Hopefully, he's raring to get back at it and put in a decent effort.

Placed over C&D from this mark in May 2024, winning at Downpatrick over this trip in August. The distance was too short on her return to action, but she could strip fitter now, returned to a more suitable trip.

Showed some promise when trained in the UK. Poor run on stable debut but was hampered in running. Can run a big race if returning to previous form. Off a good mark and trip will suit.

Davy Fitzgerald's 6 year old Gelding ISTHEREONEMOREINME is a massive price here currently trading at 40/1 deservedly so this Son of OCOVANGO hasn't shown much in his 2 handicap endeavours so far BUT I thought this charge ran well for a long way 36 days ago at Kilbeggan (24f Good) keeping in touch with the main players before fading 2 from home. This lad now drops 2f aswell as 3lbs & gets another 3lbs from Jockey Gavin Brouder. Trainer has a 40% place strike rate the past month. With 5 places on offer should this lad run similarly than he did for his career best last time out then on the evidence he 'could' be bang there over this shorter trip at big odds.
