GOING: H(10)

WINTER CUP TRIAL GALLAGHER INSURANCE 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m  

Solid tempo with Victor Rouge going forward from the good gate. IFFIDIDIT (7) he has been placed in three of his four runs here. He is proven on dry and wet ground. The gelding can win this undoubtedly. CONOR O'CEIRIN (1) has raced well in all four runs this time in for a new yard. Drawn wide in this but can press for the lead or will settle close. Has won on all types of footing. Looks the main danger. MASTER MARKO (3) has been course placed. He has been consistent in last four starts. Also has won on dry and wet conditions. EPEE BEEL (5) is a fresh-up winner. Course proven. Drawn wide in this but she can cope. ALBATROSS (8) he has been course placed. Has run well in two of his last three starts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Iffididit and Conor O'ceirin are the two best win chances in this lineup.
