Race preview
Andrew Kinirons was full of praise for MARY SALOME after she stayed on well to score in Bellewstown. She is running consistently well and Billy Lee looks set for a good spin. San Aer was gambled on at Leopardstown and rattled home to be nearest at the finish in third. He appeals off the same mark, however, the draw in 19 has been less than kind. Excuzio Joe didn't enjoy much luck-in-running before finishing fourth over C&D on Tuesday. She is much better drawn and is certainly a contender. She has a Galway victory in the formbook. Galway has long been the plan for Cailin Cliste who looks set to be played late from stall 17. She has won over 6f at the Curragh and in Fairyhouse, and tries this trip for the first time. There is a race in Inchiquin Star who was a close third over further at the festival on Wednesday. My Minervina is on a roll after winning a Bellewstown claimer and a handicap in Killarney. She got up close home in both contests, but drops in trip here. Star Of Cashel is better than his eighth place on Tuesday.
