Cork & Waterford Mares Point-To-Point Flat Race

Off time: 17:50 | Winning time: 3m 50.3s

Aoibhe's Beau²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss S Ahern⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne

25/1

Fell on first two starts between the flags and only a modest third when finally completing a race at Liscarroll last month. No fences to worry about here but others are readily preferred.

Form: FF3

Aunty Kitty^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Connor

33/1

14 race maiden in points and under rules and very patchy form in recent starts. Likely to find this all too hot to handle.

Form: 6P2P7-6

Ayleoola⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr B O Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: P Coffey

10/1

Won Belclare maiden point-to-point last time out which should have given her a confidenece boost after a few near misses in moderate company. Open to improvement but might find a few too good on this occasion.

Form: F32P1

Kings Dolly^p1⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Maguire⁽⁵⁾| T: R J McGrath

5/1

Won two of her last four point-to-points and clearly in good heart at present. This is tougher, but has to be a contender in what is not the strongest race of its type.

Form: 213412-

Lackaneen Leader⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

5/4

Shaped nicely on all three starts between the flags so far winning in good style last time at Lismore. Hails from top stable so has to be very much a contender now racing under rules for the first time.

Form: 321

Nana Joan¹³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: D Queally

9/4

Moderate maiden point-to-pointer on evidence of four career starts to date. Still time for improvement but faces a tough task at this level.

Form: 4/UF23-5

Seeyouallinchasers²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: M J M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: E M O'Sullivan

33/1

Looked beaten when fell late on in lowly point-to-point last month having pulled up the time before. Early days yet, but is hard to make a case for.

Form: 3PF6-

Shesakeeper⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr E P O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Duggan

20/1

Picked up the pieces when left second in maiden point-to-point last week. that form doesn't look good enough but has time on her side and may do better in due course.

Form: P24-

Slainte And Thanks^t1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: G Ahern

25/1

Maiden who got no further than the first fence when unseating rider last week and on balance looks out of her depth against the pick of the opposition.

Form: 274U5-1

Thisonesforollie⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr S Fitzgerald⁽⁷⁾| T: William P Murphy

8/1

Pulled up on first start in point-to-point a year ago but appeared improved after a long lay off when winning at Cragmore in February. Has some ability so comes into the reckoning for place purposes, at least.

Form: P-1

Forecasts

Lackaneen Leader (5/4), Nana Joan (9/4), Kings Dolly (5/1), Thisonesforollie (8/1), Ayleoola (10/1), Shesakeeper (20/1), Slainte And Thanks (25/1), Aoibhe's Beau (25/1), Seeyouallinchasers (33/1), Aunty Kitty (33/1)

Not much strength in depth in this mares' race, but LACKANEEN LEADER looks the part on what she has achieved to date and is a confident choice. King's Dolly has shown ability in winning twice between the flags and has place prospects at least, a comment that also aplies to Ayleoola. Aoibhe's Beau is the other one worth a second glance.
