UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

CALIFORNIA DADDY did not get home over 1m2f at this track last time out but the son of Scat Daddy can be given another chance based on his previous performances over this trip. Zarandi was not beaten far at all over 7f here last month and he is an obvious threat to the selection. Pocotaligo is another with valid form claims, while Celtic Red is the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st California Daddy 2nd Zarandi 3rd Pocotaligo

GEOLOGICAL displayed plenty of promise when finishing sixth in a competitive race here last month and he could be hard to beat in this weaker contest. Youceeyouceecee made an encouraging return to action at Gowran Park a few weeks ago and he could give the selection the most to think about. Others to consider are Eastern Racer and Pepperoni Pete.
Prediction : 1st Geological 2nd Youceeyouceecee 3rd Pepperoni Pete

CAMPHOR finished third behind an exciting prospect on her debut over C&D last month and the daughter of Camelot is entitled to improve for that experience. If the three-year-old does take a step forward she should take plenty of beating. South Sea Pearl, who cost 800,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to the three-time Group 3 winner Ernest Hemingway, is a newcomer to note, while similar comments apply to Search For A Song and Switch Around.
Prediction : 1st Camphor 2nd South Sea Pearl 3rd Search For A Song

AZTEC EAGLE struggled on his handicap debut in September last year but the five-year-old had previously won a maiden here over a mile and he may have more improvement left to come. Happy Company's last couple of efforts suggest he can make the frame in a race like this, while the well-bred Commander showed plenty of ability for Roger Varian and merits respect on his debut for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Aztec Eagle 2nd Happy Company 3rd Commander

BARBADOS took a step forward from his debut at the Curragh in August last year when going down by a narrow margin at Naas on his seasonal bow last month. He clearly benefited from the step up in trip on that occasion and can make it third time lucky. Up Helly Aa is the first runner for Fiesolana, a Group 1 winner for connections back in 2014, and he warrants plenty of consideration along with Brogue, who looks an interesting newcomer for Dermot Weld.
Prediction : 1st Barbados 2nd Up Helly Aa 3rd Brogue

SILVERKODE is entitled to come on for his first run of the season at Naas, which came over an inadequate 6f, and is just 1lb higher than his second in a competitive Leopardstown handicap on Irish Champions Weekend. St Brelades Bay is an extremely consistent performer and is likely to be in the mix once again, while the veteran Gordon Lord Byron has to be respected down in class.
Prediction : 1st Silverkode 2nd St Brelades Bay 3rd Gordon Lord Byron

Gossamer Wings sets the standard on her form in Group company throughout last season, but the daughter of Scat Daddy had plenty of outings and needs to prove she has trained on in what appears to be a competitive event for the grade. Shumookhi warrants respect travelling over from England for Archie Watson, but the vote goes to CAVA. Joseph O'Brien's filly can take a step forward, especially back against her own sex, from her third in this company at Navan last month.
Prediction : 1st Cava 2nd Shumookhi 3rd Gossamer Wings
