16:55 Breens Farm Machinery Apprentice Handicap (47-65)

Race preview

ANO MANNA found 7f a bit sharp when third in a big field at the Curragh last month but recorded wins over a mile at Killarney either side of that. She's only gone up 2lb for her latest victory which enables her to remain in this grade and this trip should be within her compass on a flat track like Tipperary. So Messi was third to the progressive Fratas on handicap debut at Ballinrobe and was defeated by only a head when runner-up at Killarney in July. He should appreciate the extra furlong here. Bang Po was well behind the selection when a disappointing favourite at the Curragh last time but a return to the form of his second to Fratas at Galway would certainly see him involved in the finish.
