Mullingar Race 1

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $693

FOYLE CON (6) ran a good time (29.39) when third an A1 at this track after jumping from this box. Looks the one to beat on best. GUN RUNNER (2) jumped favourite and quickly to the front but run down late to finish second (29.35) at this track in an A2 over 480m. Expecting another good run. NICE JAZZ (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 29.28 beating GUN RUNNER. Sure to be thereabouts. SLIABH MOR (3) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage one length away in second (29.37). Ready to find winning form.

Good effort to score last start by 5 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.49, beating Urban Delight. Not up to this.

Finished second when resuming last start over 480m at this track (29.35) in an A2. Much improved for this and is a leading contender.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten one length, last start in an A2 at this track over 480m (29.37). Decent recent form so demands respect.
