DAPHNE BANNAN MEMORIAL GREAT EASTER STAKES 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 5m to the 1000m, Remainder Out 8m  

The race pace here in this Listed event over 1400m looks to be solid from the outset. THIRD DECREE (2) is a dual winner here on the track. She has drawn well. The mare has won on dry and wet conditions. Logical win chance. QUINTABELLE (11) is racing well. Has won on dry and wet. Twice a winner here. Can overcome a wide gate in this. MYSTIC PARK (1) was a good run at his last start. Five-time winner on the track. Proven third up. Include him everywhere you can afford too. CONOR O'CEIRIN (3) was a good win fresh up for a new yard here. Has won second up before. Trifecta and first four must no matter the footing on offer. CANDYCANE (12) this is her first race at Blacktype. Course proven. Has won on dry and wet. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quintabelle is a win wager.
