7:00 Sligo Tips

Strongly fancied to win on just a second start in a handicap and moved up to a more suitable trip. Ran well from this mark on handicap debut last time, was unlucky in running and should get off the mark here.

Unexposed 2yo filly. Four career runs. Still in the mix entering the final furlong two weeks ago on her nursery handicap debut, out paced late on, but it was a much stronger contest than this race tonight. A 4lb lower mark now and a good experienced apprentice in the saddle claiming 5lb.

After average maiden runs, came good in first handicap race, winning at Down Royal over 5f. Moving up to 6f today should not be an issue. Also has a 5 lb claiming jockey.

Penultimate outing suggested she would benefit from a return to six furlongs. She was unable to prove that theory correct last time when blowing the start and was always behind. Handicapping was always likely to be where she would be able to fulfil her potential, and she's on a handy-looking mark. She has been the subject of early-morning support, with her odds more than halving, but there's still some juice in her current price.

Having shown better form two races back, she now competes in a weaker nursery handicap, which makes this 20/1 shot a promising outsider that might just surprise and clinch a spot.

Has disappointed in 3 races to date. Should be better than those results have shown and with improvement still likely holds an each way chance.
