Millennium Surveys Ltd Mares Point-To-Point Flat Race

Off time: 19:40 | Winning time: 4m 33.60s

Elsa Bay⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr B O'Neill| T: William P Murphy

11/1

Shantou mare. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam unraced. Placed both completed starts between the flags and she's worth a second look in the betting on Rules debut.

Form: 33U-

Forceonmyown²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: D Ahern

50/1

Workforce mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Tamar Bridge and bumper winner/fair 2½m hurdle winner Mellificent. Beaten a fair way when fourth in a maiden point on debut last month.

Form: 4-

Jasmine D'airy⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: S Curling

2/1

Authorized mare. Dam, ran once in bumper/over hurdles in France, sister to fairly useful French hurdler (17f winner) Vadero d'Airy. Runner-up both starts in maiden points and he looks a big player with Derek O'Connor booked for this Rules debut.

Form: 22-

Justlikejessejames¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr T Power Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: Brendan Walsh

18/1

Mount Nelson mare. Dam bumper/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). No great shakes in points and she's probably best watched.

Form: P25P-

Pepperpots¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr B J Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Walsh

50/1

Policy Maker mare. Dam placed in points. Poor record herself between the flags and she's hard to warm to.

Form: 5PPF6P-

Phildante^h1⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr M J McGrath⁽⁷⁾| T: R J McGrath

10/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in bumper at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 16/1) on latest start under Rules 7 months ago (second in a point since). Hood on 1st time.

Form: 682-

Runaway Bride⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr E Mahon⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs G O'Connor

8/1

Jukebox Jury mare. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat, including useful 5f-7.4f winner It Just Takes Time. Made the frame both completed starts in points, albeit she failed to threaten on either occasion.

Form: 3F4-

Wyoming Baby^h1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: R Tyner

2/1

Once-raced maiden under Rules, finishing last of 13 in bumper (100/1) at Limerick (19f, heavy) 13 months. Maiden point winner last month, though, and she's of interest on debut for new yard with a first-time hood enlisted.

Form: 0/5PF1-

Klassical Corona¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr J L Gleeson⁽⁵⁾| T: C Motherway

6/1

Masterofthehorse filly who wasn't beaten far when fourth on debut in a maiden point last month. Worth a second look.

Forecasts

Jasmine D'airy (2/1), Wyoming Baby (2/1), Ma Bess (4/1), Miss Penny Copper (5/1), Klassical Corona (6/1), Runaway Bride (8/1), Phildante (10/1), Elsa Bay (11/1), Justlikejessejames (18/1), Lady Nightingale (25/1), Pepperpots (50/1), Forceonmyown (50/1)

With mainly point form to go on, the betting should be informative. JASMINE D'AIRY showed plenty when runner-up on her two starts between the flags and she earns the vote. Next on the list is Wyoming Baby, who recently landed a maiden point, whole Ma Bess has shown a fair level of form in this sphere and she is best of the rest.
