BoyleSports 'Pick Your Place' Handicap

Off time: 17:35 | Winning time: 1m 27.40s

(1)

Bonus Time^t1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 89

5/6

Twice-raced winner. Won 10-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 11/8) 48 days ago, kept up to work. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Cromwell and, with further progress likely now handicapping for new yard, she's one to consider.

Form: 21

Thunder Blaze¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: A Oliver| OR: 89| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced winner. Fourth of 5 in minor event (11/8) at Naas (5.9f, good) 15 days ago. Remains of interest judged on 2-y-o exploits and his reappearance near-miss at Fairyhouse. Solid claims.

Form: 12-24

(6)

Wizard Of Odds^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 83| D

16/1

20/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at this course (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 26-2086

(5)

Aviatrice¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 80

15/2

Lightly-raced winner. Good second of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Limerick (8f, good) 19 days ago. Entitled to come on for that reappearance/turf debut and should make her presence felt.

Form: 0221-2

(7)

Joyful Princess²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 79

7/1

Good second of 8 in minor event at this course (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Needs to raise her game now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 522-342

(3)

Misappropriation¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 79| D

12/1

Respectable second of 8 in handicap at Limerick (7f, good, 4/1) 19 days ago, not clear run. Likely to give it a good shot.

Form: 461-022

(4)

Shelbiana²⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 75

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, second of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f). Off 9 months ahead of this handicap debut and improvement is needed.

Form: 452-

Bonus Time (5/6), Thunder Blaze (13/2), Joyful Princess (7/1), Aviatrice (15/2), Shelbiana (10/1), Misappropriation (12/1), Wizard Of Odds (16/1)

Though a shade disappointing at Naas recently, SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN is nevertheless appealing on account of his Fairyhouse reappearance second to I Bid You Ajou, who was completing the hat-trick. He remains open to improvement, a remark that also applies to Bonus Time, who confirmed her debut promise when landing a 6f maiden at the Curragh and she has subsequently changed hands. Misappropriation is third choice.
