Baton Rouge^t1²¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 87| BF

5/4

Galileo colt who stepped up markedly on his debut effort when third in a Curragh maiden (7f) in August. Heavy ground possibly against him final start and he remains with potential this term.

Form: 033-

Ebasari¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford

4/1

Twice-raced colt. 15/2, eighth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (9f, heavy) in November, weakening over 1f out. Debut effort had contained promise and he's another that should have more to offer.

Form: 88-

150/1

Lightly-raced gelding. Tenth of 14 in maiden (100/1) at this course (6f) 58 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Type to do better in handicaps moving forward.

Form: 08-90

Kalaroun^t1¹⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford

13/2

Thrice-raced colt. Sixth of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) pressing leader throughout and weakening final 1f. Remains a likely improver back up in trip, particularly in handicaps. Tongue tied

Form: 756-

Lucky Shot

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C D Maxwell| T: P Martin

100/1

Battle of Marengo gelding. Dam 1¼m/10.7f winner. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gavin Ryan| T: T Doyle

80/1

Once-raced colt. 80/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f) on debut, unable to sustain effort. This should reveal more.

8/1

Thrice-raced filly. Matched previous best when second of 8 in maiden at this course (7f) in November, unlucky to bump in to one. Fancied to be thereabouts.

Form: 302-

Holly Golightly¹⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons

13/2

Promising individual. Fifth of 13 in maiden at this course (7f, 9/1) on debut, showing greenness but making late headway. Open to progress, particularlu upped to 1m.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

5/1

Once-raced filly. Third of 14 in maiden (2/1) at this course (6f) on debut 26 days ago, keeping on without being knocked about. Rates a likely improver.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: P J Rothwell

300/1

Twice-raced filly. 250/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at this course (10.7f) 5 days ago. Back down in trip. Will make little appeal until tackling low-grade handicaps.

Forecasts

Baton Rouge (5/4), Ebasari (4/1), Princess Plumeria (5/1), Holly Golightly (13/2), Kalaroun (13/2), Golden Lyric (8/1), Fast Celt (66/1), Maralinga (80/1), Lucky Shot (100/1), Grove Island (150/1), Shazza (300/1), Sarsfields Glen (300/1)

BATON ROUGE had heavy ground as a possible excuse when beaten at Cork last summer, yet he had previously shaed with plenty of promise when third in a Curragh maiden and he's worth another chance to get back on the up for his powerful stable. There is strength in opposition though, headed up by Princess Plumeria, Golden Lyric and Holly Golightly.
