UK Horse Racing Tips: Ballinrobe

Bar Room Bore is clearly much better than showing in a Roscommon handicap two weeks ago and, being the top-rated performer in this line-up, he warrants respect on his first start at Plating level. However, CLIARA receives 10lb off the gelding rated 9lb her superior and shades the verdict following her fast-finishing fourth over 7f on the same Roscommon card. Last week's Sligo third Scotts Honor also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Cliara 2nd Bar Room Bore 3rd Scotts Honor

CAFE CON LECHE stepped up on his satisfactory debut performance when half-a-length second over 7f at Roscommon and, likely to improve again for this step up in trip, he could make it third time lucky. Xcite's two efforts last month were full of promise and she looks sure to go close, while Hereia is certainly no forlorn hope on his return from a five-month break.
Prediction : 1st Cafe Con Leche 2nd Xcite 3rd Hereia

BRUINNEALL looked a slightly unlucky loser at Sligo last week, meeting trouble in running after a slow start, and although there will be no 33-1 odds about her this time, she looks sure to be in the firing line again. Merited wasn't beaten far at Leopardstown and should give another good account, while Jewel Maker and Greenpanda, who sports a first-time visor, are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Bruinneall 2nd Merited 3rd Jewel Maker

Hidden Spark must enter calculations following her half-length defeat at Cork, but it is concerning she remains a maiden after 13 starts and slight preference is for the less exposed ULTRA PRIDE. There has been plenty of positives to take from his last couple of efforts and an opening mark of 63 looks workable. Belle Cora, Masque Of Anarchy and Ellaat also have some form which give them bits and pieces of chances.
Prediction : 1st Ultra Pride 2nd Hidden Spark 3rd Belle Cora

MONACO ROSE proved her 16-1 Down Royal success last month was no fluke when following up under a penalty at Leopardstown. She showed good battling qualities that day and gave the impression there was more to come, so she can round off the hat-trick for new connections. The Last Indian went well in defeat at Roscommon latest and has won at this track over hurdles. She heads the list of dangers from Flicker Flame.
Prediction : 1st Monaco Rose 2nd The Last Indian 3rd Flicker Flame

MACHIAVELLI has been running very well in defeat of late and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the four-year-old to get off the mark. Sbraase has to be respected following his recent Sligo victory, albeit in claiming company, while any market support for Navajo Ridge on his handicap debut would have to be noted. Lustful enters the reckoning if taking up this engagement after Sunday's Tipperary defeat.
Prediction : 1st Machiavelli 2nd Sbraase 3rd Navajo Ridge

TRITONIX, who won a bumper at Down Royal last month, has displayed promise in both previous starts on the Flat and she appears to be the one to beat in this contest. Veinard finished a place behind the selection last time out and he could chase her home once again today. Others who merit consideration in an open race are Grove Hill, Peregrine Run and Rocky Court.
Prediction : 1st Tritonix 2nd Veinard 3rd Grove Hill
