Youghal Race 5

525 Yds (A2)

Stake: $750

WITCHES MANLY (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage second (29.10) at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to feature. KNOCK LOLA (4) is chasing another win after a speedy 29.09 win latest. Don't underestimate. BOHERASH TWIRL (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of her recent form but could only manage third (29.47) at this track. Deserves a win and gets her chance. PORTRAIT (2) boasts a consistent overall record including 24 wins from 83 starts, but missed the frame latest when fourth (29.36) over 480m at this track. Tends to go well on this trap. On top here on best form and expected to feature.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 480m (29.47). In good form but this is tougher.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.09, beating Slaneyside Meg. In top form and can make it three straight.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Others preferred on this occasion.
