Ballinrobe Race 3 - Lodge At Ashford Castle Maiden
JANES HARBOUR (7) won a maiden hurdle at this track by 10L last month. Showed mild promise in one previous Flat start. Leading contender if able to transfer progress to this code. MOLTO AMICHI (2) was beaten a neck in a course and distance handicap in May. Back in similar form with latest Leopardstown fourth. Key player. AUTUMN TWIST (1) has offered precious little in two Flat runs this year but is another with a recent hurdling win on the board. Not discounted. SISTER LILY (8) progressed from debut effort when fourth at Leopardstown (1408m) 11 days ago. Place claims.

At the latest run second last of 14 at Listowel on June 1 over 3218m, 27 len behind Ifitwasme carrying 61kg at $13. The run before that won by 2.25 len at Killarney May 11 over 3419m defeating Lodge Man carrying 69.5kg at $3.80. Useful type and can bounce back.

Most recently 4th of 18 at Leopardstown on June 5 over 1810m, 3.5 len behind Bear Profit carrying 62.5kg at $6.50. The start before that ran last of 19 at Curragh on May 24 over 2011m, 14 len behind Apercu with 54kg at $8.50. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.

Third race start. First start 7th of 10 at Fairyhouse on November 30 over 3218m, 22 len behind William Butler carrying 74kg at $26. Returned from break second last of 12 at Tipperary on May 27 over 2514m, 71 len behind Pharos Freedom carrying 66.5kg at $201. Can't see him turning things around.

This Elzaam filly is a four-year-old having her first start. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Four-year-old filly by Decorated Knight out of Kodianne who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Pay to keep an eye on market moves.

Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; scored a big 10 len win at this track May 27 over 3319m defeating Radar Ahead with 67kg at $1.70. The start before that 4th of 22 at Punchestown on May 1 over 3319m, 10 len behind Putapoundinthejar with 66kg at $13. Looks hard to beat again.
