20:10 TipperaryRaces.ie Handicap (47-65) (Div 2)

Race preview

STAY LOCAL began her handicap career in sprints last year and made the frame over 5f at the Curragh. She came home well to be a close third over 1m 1f here in April before finishing runner-up last time at Killarney. Aidan Howard's filly will handle soft ground and she gets the vote in the hope that her stamina holds out over this longer trip. Whatcouldhavebeen didn't have the clearest of runs in the straight when staying on well for fifth at Ballinrobe last week. That was only her second run in handicap company and there should be more to come from her. Rihani, who is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, and Surac were third and fourth respectively in a handicap over a furlong less at Limerick. Both were coming home well and this longer trip should suit this pair of unexposed three-year-olds.
