Good early pressure with Accredited or Rockribbed likely to take up the running.
The $200,000 Listed Lough Neagh Stakes. ACCREDITED (6) has been right there in all three NSW runs this preparation and looks to be working up to another win. Drawn to get a gun run from the inside alley and looks very well placed here by astute conditioner Joe Pride. Sure to be right there at the business end. Old boy ROTHFIRE (1) was a touch disappointing at the latest effort but go on the strong win in the Sydney Stakes two back. Has a bit of class on these and can feature prominently if he brings his A-game. ROCKRIBBED (2) is yet to miss a drum in four spins around this circuit and will be high on confidence following that last-start Doomben victory. Can go back-to-back. TAVS (4) has won four from five here and is more than capable enough on his day. Include in calculations. OUGHTON (3) will be rock-hard fit now and may make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Accredited.
