UK Horse Racing Tips: Ballinrobe

FEMME BEAUTY has produced some solid efforts this year, most recently not being beaten far into third over 1m4f at Limerick, and this drop in trip shouldn't hold any fears. The daughter of Ghaiyyath looks to have found a good opportunity to return to winning ways. Delusional finished a close third behind the selection at Killarney two starts ago and while he competes on better terms today, he needs to bounce back from his disappointing effort at Limerick last time. Zitkala Sa showed more when third at Gowran Park at the start of the month and may get closer.
Prediction : 1st Femme Beauty 2nd Delusional 3rd Zitkala Sa

CAMINO LAD shaped with plenty of promise when finishing third behind stablemate Res Ipsa over a mile at Limerick, shaping as if this step up in trip would unlock improvement. The son of Flintshire possesses lots of stamina in his pedigree and can take the step forward required to strike. Nermal has a proven level of ability and can be counted upon to run well again, but is vulnerable to a progressive type. Wonderfulwonderful is a fairly useful hurdler who has to be respected on her return to the Flat.
Prediction : 1st Camino Lad 2nd Nermal 3rd Wonderfulwonderful

MANO CHICAGO showed a fair amount of ability as a juvenile and having missed last year, has been performing well enough this term. The son of Study Of Man took the silver medal home in first-time blinkers over C&D two starts ago and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Harana was a shade disappointing when fifth at Leopardstown latest, but is a player based on her third at Roscommon prior. Big Dispute returns to the Flat after his fourth over hurdles at Listowel and is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Mano Chicago 2nd Harana 3rd Big Dispute

MARMELADOVA won her maiden here last month and may be able to strike again. The Inns Of Court mare has since run with credit in a good conditions event at Gowran, despite finishing last of four, and her rating of 75 doesn't look harsh at all. Daler comes here in winning form and has to be respected after such an impressive Leopardstown victory. Merlin The Wizard was third at this venue last month and won a Limerick optional claimer last time out. He's another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Marmeladova 2nd Daler 3rd Merlin The Wizard

ONYEISI ran a solid race last time and looks capable of striking off this mark. The Profitable gelding met some traffic when fourth at Fairyhouse and may have been closer with a clear run. He has been eased a couple of pounds since. Rodeo Blues hasn't been all that far away on her last two runs and is 2lb lower following her performance at Leopardstown recently. She could be a danger in a moderate looking affair. A Pretty Penny won at this venue on her penultimate outing and is another who has to be on the shortlist. She wasn't disgraced when fifth off this mark at Gowran subsequently.
Prediction : 1st Onyeisi 2nd Rodeo Blues 3rd A Pretty Penny

SONIC INVADER has run well to be placed on his last couple of outings and looks up to winning a race of this standard. The Churchill gelding was third to cosy winner Ballyadam at Listowel late last month and has been eased 1lb since. Lagoon Nebula was a staying-on fourth in that Listowel contest, only half a length behind the selection, and she is entitled to run a big race here. Bruant won over timber at Downpatrick a month ago and could be a danger now reverting to the Flat. He has been eased 3lb since his last appearance on the level.
Prediction : 1st Sonic Invader 2nd Lagoon Nebula 3rd Bruant

Classy mare SWITCH FROM DIESEL looks on an attractive mark of 80. The daughter of Yeats comes here off the back of two cosy wins over timber at Punchestown and makes just her second outing on the Flat. She got up late on to win a Curragh maiden last November, beating Factual Fact who is now rated 89. Royal Hollow is another smart dual-purpose performer and she could prove a danger. She ran well over timber in a decent mares' contest at Listowel last time. Earthsong, a winner at Gowran last month, is another who is respected. She has reportedly taken time to mature and could be progressive.
Prediction : 1st Switch From Diesel 2nd Royal Hollow 3rd Earthsong
