Race preview
Recent Killarney third POSITIVE ENERGY can strike for trainer Willie McCreery. Having just his second start in handicap company, the Make Believe gelding was held up towards the rear before staying on late to take minor honours. With the benefit of that experience, he should be more streetwise now, while the stiffer test should also play to his strengths. Sirene Success lacks a run in handicaps, but could prove to be well treated if inexperience doesn't count against her. Ken Condon's filly kept on nicely to finish fifth at Roscommon, and the third franked that form when winning her maiden subsequently. Tipperary winner Killeaney Bear is more exposed than most, but his experience can prove an advantage around a track like this.
