Tip 1 - Nine Graces - 0.5pt EW

Best odds of 25/1 at Unibet while publishing.

NINE GRACES (best priced at 25/1) won this race by four lengths last season off a mark of 120 when sent off only 11/4, and she looks overpriced at 25/1 this season off only a 7lb higher mark. The Barry Connell trained nine-year-old won easily that day despite being hampered by a faller, and despite being more competitive this year, she should hold strong claims of hitting the frame.

Since that victory, Nine Graces has finished well beaten on her next three starts, but she was catching the eye last time at Fairyhouse before being hampered and pulling up two fences later. She will be better suited by this 2m6f trip rather than the 3m6f trip last time, and I expect her to outrun her odds under regular rider Finny Maguire.

Tip 2: Enthused - 1pt

Best odds of 11/4 at Betfred while publishing.

The James Owen-trained ENTHUSED (best priced at 11/4) outran odds of 66/1 to finish 3rd in a Class 4 0-80 handicap a week ago and should now hold strong claims dropped in grade to this Class 6 0-65 handicap. The top weight won over this course and distance in June by four lengths off a mark of 67 and has now dropped down to a career low mark of 61.

Enthused now runs in her usual visor, dropped back down in trip, and she looks the one to beat in this weak contest.

Tip 3: Global Warning - 0.5pt EW

Best odds of 9/1 at Unibet while publishing.

GLOBAL WARNING (best priced at 9/1) was well backed on his reappearance from a 269-day break when 5th at Lingfield at the end of December. The John Butler-trained ten-year-old was a well-backed 100/30 shot that day but got no run off the turn when full of running. The handicapper has been generous dropping him 1lb for that effort down to a mark of 54 and he can hopefully get better luck in running despite being drawn in Stall 10.

Global Warning will no doubt be ridden for luck from the rear again, but he should hit the frame with up to four places available.
