2/5/23 Ballinrobe

 The best on a poor Monday came at Down Royal where Paul Marvel was 4th, the 15/8 favourite was 2nd early but wasn't fluent from the 7th. He dropped to 5th from 2 out making no impression, Bella Bliss won the race beating Cocoplum by 2 1/2 lengths. In the 2 big group races at The Curragh Queen Aminatu was 7th with Honey Girl taking the contest while in the other Luxembourg came 5th in a race won by Visualisation who beat Layfayette by 1 1/2 lengths. 

 The week continues with 8 races at Ballinrobe on Tuesday where there are two highlights. 

4.45: Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)

10: Lucid Dreams: A promising horse who was second on hurdles debut at Fakenham in March before finishing 3rd in a bumper on this course 18 days ago. She has shown enough in those performances but still has more to offer and can open her account here.

5.18: Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle (Div 2)

5: Banntown Girl: A useful individual who despite remaining winless after 7 hurdles runs was a respectable 2nd on this course when last seen two weeks ago. She may have been no match for the winner that day but she has the best form on show here and is the one to beat.
