Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race

Off time: 17:26 | Winning time: 4m 11.7s

Ayeeyei

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: R K Watson

40/1

Some speed in the pedigree but yard 0-15 in bumpers last 5 seasons and is best watched on debut.

Form:

Blixt³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

2/1

Improved run at Clonmel latest, staying on well in the closing stages and this extra furlong is a plus. Yard do well in these events and she has to be a major player here.

Form: 34-2

Decision Time¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Ms K Walsh| T: J E Kiely| BF

3/1

Has run to a good level in bumpers on her last two starts and she seems to be finding her feet now. Some sprinters in the family so won't be short of speed and reproduction of last run puts her in the picture.

Form: 4/45-32

Gemma's Flame¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr A J Fox⁽⁷⁾| T: H P Finegan

14/1

Only modest in point-to-points but turned in a good effort on debut when third to Sapphire Lady at Ballinrobe. Chances of the places at least if building on that effort.

Form: 4-P3

Hylo's Journey

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: A McNamara

20/1

Getaway mare who's half-sister Cervaro won a bumper for Nicky Henderson. Will want further in time and is probably best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise.

Form:

Lourda Dev^t1⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Joyce

33/1

Only a modicum of promise on debut and connections quick to put the tongue-tie on, others look to hold stronger claims.

Form: 8-

Rubbing Shoulders

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Stack⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

16/1

Related to some useful types and should have a bit of speed, so is at least worth a market check for a yard that doe well in these events.

Form:

Flamingo's Court¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr T Reilly⁽⁷⁾| T: P Casey

12/1

Stepped up considerably on her Cork debut when fourth to Sapphire Lady at Ballinrobe (Gemma's Flame just in front of her) and chances of going forward from that.

Form: 04

Getaway Katie

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr D J Benson⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan

16/1

Yard get the odd winner in these events so this Getaway filly, a half-sister to the useful Waterunder, is at least worth a glance in the market.

Form:

Osco Mosco¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

5/2

Ran green on debut at Tramore earlier in the month but the penny was dropping in the latter stages and she stayed on strongly to grab second will know a lot more here and should be a big player in this.

Form: 2

Royal Tipple⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr P A O'Donnell⁽⁷⁾| T: K F O'Donnell

33/1

Has already shown signs of temperament in point-to-point and can't be entertained as a likely winner here.

Form: PR-

Forecasts

Blixt (2/1), Osco Mosco (5/2), Decision Time (3/1), Flamingo's Court (12/1), Gemma's Flame (14/1), Getaway Katie (16/1), Rubbing Shoulders (16/1), Hylo's Journey (20/1), Lourda Dev (33/1), Royal Tipple (33/1), Ayeeyei (40/1)

A few of these are closely matched on their latest runs and choosing between them isn't easy. The vote goes to OSCO MOSCO who should benefit plenty from her debut at Tramore and can take the prize. Blixt is doing little wrong and she and Decision Time can fill out the places.
