14:05 Meadowview Stables Maiden (Div 1)

Race preview

ORCHID GARDENS might have a slight edge here and can get off the mark at the eight attempt. She has been a thoroughly consistent performer throughout her career and having attained a black-type placing in a Listed event last February at Dundalk, has since run well in competitive handicaps and more recently performed well in two useful maidens. She is proven at this distance and goes well with an ease and can be depended upon to run another solid race. Pin Your Hopes has himself shown a good level of ability in maidens and is also proven at this distance and on easy ground. However on adjusted ratings he has 6lbs to find with the selection and in contrast to the selection, has raced exclusively in maiden races. Theophile is useful but is held by the selection on recent Punchestown form while Longburn would ideally prefer a sound surface and probably needs to improve to win. Battle Of Benburb ran well on debut at Navan and can get involved for the placings while Indian Lilac ran well on debut behind easy winner Peaceful at Thurles last October but is probably best watched on her reappearance run today.
