Cost €30,000 as a yearling and related to useful types over 7f and an extended 9f. Needs to up his game from two previous starts but possible this step up in trip will bring about some progress.
Yard highly respected with its juveniles and certainly capable of having one ready. Unspectacular breeding but in the right hands to develop as he gains in experience.
Fourth of 12 on debut at Listowel - doing his best work at the finish, so very possible he will appreciate today's extra furlong. Highly respected trainer, so one to bear in mind.
Plenty of winners in his bloodlines and showed signs of ability on debut over 6f at Fairyhouse. Was short of room near the finish on that occasion - chance of making a winning debut had already slipped by him though. Step up in trip likely to suit and has to be considered as a leading contender this time around.
Almost 4l adrift of Band of Outlaws on debut at Fairyhouse, so already has something to prove. The step up in trip should help but likely she will need a little more time.
Bred for middles distances but anything this yard sends out at the ,moment merits a second look in the betting. The betting can guide here.
Finished down the field in a decent looking maiden at The Curragh last month - never really on terms but was getting the hang of things close to home. More required here but sure to benefit from more experience and, having finished just ahead of Marmalade N Toast on debut, she at least has a yardstick to aim at for evaluation purposes.
Sister to a couple of winners for her connections and likely she will have a well-plotted route mapped out for her. Worth a check in the betting.
Cost just €3,000, she was readily outpaced after surrendering the lead on debut at Cork and needs to improve greatly for this step up to 7f.
Not much to take from her debut effort at Listowel other than she at least managed to beat one rival to the finish line. Positive jockey booking but not much else going for her at this stage.
Never got into a challenging position on debut at Dundalk and is hard to fancy on that evidence. May do better when more of an emphasis on her stamina.
Definite hints of stamina in her pedigree and while the form of her debut run is working out well, she was never a factor and worth bearing in mind that she finished a well-beaten last before jumping to conclusions about anticipated improvement. Looks the type to do better when upped in trip for a handicap further down the line.
Forecasts
Band of Outlaws (11/8), Vocal Music (9/4), Triple Sec (8/1), Painting Pictures (11/1), Devastating Power (16/1), Blue Petal (16/1), Dracula Dave (20/1), Shecanrally (25/1), Marmalade N Toast (25/1), Lucia's Bob (50/1), Well Why Not (50/1), Stormy Tale (50/1)
The betting market is likely to be an active place for the opener, as Band of Outlaws appeals as a likely type to have derived plenty of benefit from his racecourse bow and, given the family connections of his trainer, he is sure to be a popular choice. However, similar sentiments apply to VOCAL MUSIC, who made a very please debut over 6f at Listowel and created the impression that at least another furlong would suit him ideally. Jim Bolger's charge may be the better value option on this occasion. Painting Pictures and Dracula Dave are from highly respected yards and are others to monitor closely sof signs of support.
