Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares (Ladies Pro/Am) Flat Race

Off time: 20:13 | Winning time: 3m 58.1s

Barra Rua³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss C Butler⁽⁷⁾| T: E Mullins

10/3

Once-raced maiden. Second of 10 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good, 2/1) on debut 39 days ago. Well worth considering here on the back of that encouraging effort.

Form: 2

Fraher Field³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss A B O'Connor| T: J & T Kiely

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in bumper (5/2) at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Improvement needed.

Form: 4-3

Galileo Springs^t¹⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Ms E L Herbison⁽⁷⁾| T: M Brassil

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Bit below form third of 6 in bumper (7/2) at Punchestown (16.4f, soft) 175 days ago. Looks capable of picking up a race and good chance of doing just that here.

Form: 99223-

Moon Mariner

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss J Townend| T: W P Mullins

9/2

Sea Moon mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Super Duty, stayed 29f. Obvious appeal on paper, representing the Willie Mullins yard, and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant.

Form:

Palpatate²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, creditable third of 16 in bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 21 days ago. Likely to be on the premises.

Form: 59-23

Run For Mahler^t1

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss A L Fitzgibbon⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes

20/1

Mahler mare. Am, French 2¼m/2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Baby Run. Wears tongue strap. Entitled to come on for the run.

Form:

Tina Yeats²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Caragh Monaghan⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin

66/1

Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in bumper (22/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Probably more of a long-term prospect.

Form: 7

Hello Johnjoe⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss G Benson⁽⁷⁾| T: A McNamara

18/1

€30,000 4-y-o, Berkshire filly. Dam placed once in points. Runner-up both completed starts between the flags and it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting.

Form: P2-2

Master Sydney³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Sarah Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 14 in bumper at Listowel (16.4f, good to firm, 4/1) 37 days ago. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 8-32

Forecasts

Barra Rua (10/3), Fraher Field (4/1), Moon Mariner (9/2), Master Sydney (5/1), Palpatate (11/2), Galileo Springs (7/1), Hello Johnjoe (18/1), Run For Mahler (20/1), Tina Yeats (66/1)

There is much to like about newcomer MOON MARINER on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Galileo Springs looks sure to pick up a race sooner rather than later and she is second choice ahead of Barra Rua, Master Sydney and Palpatate.
