16:05 Meath Handicap (45-65) (Div 1)

Race preview

DE MAZZARO returns to the scene of his unfortunate defeat a year and a day ago when his rider was injured mid-race and might gain compensation and win here. He is a frustrating type to follow and while he has yet to win in 10 flat starts, at least won over hurdles at Galway in October and does look the type to eventually win a handicap at this trip from his basement rating. Walking On Glass has won once over hurdles and another race on the flat and has obvious claims, despite being beaten on his last six flat starts from similar ratings. Ingleby Mackenzie brought up a hat-trick of wins at Killarney last July and while also unsuccessful in six subsequent flat starts, his rating has dropped back down to 50 and should get involved today. Shoulda Lied was a winner on his latest start, when trained by Willie Mullins for the troubled Supreme Horse Racing Club, but was subsequently allowed sell for just E4,000 in October and is possibly best watched today.
