Clonmel Race 5 - Adare Manor Opportunity Mares Maiden Hurdle
SOUND JUDGEMENT (10) proved a good winner on point to point debut in March last year. Made steady progress on all hurdle starts where latest finished runner up at Navan which reads strongly. Hard to oppose. CHAUTUAQUA (1) brings plenty of experience however comes with a note of caution as she is not the most reliable. Better last time at Gowran Park but risky. JURY BELLE (4) appears to be coming along nicely for connections and would have a chance in a handicap. Worth giving close consideration. TANGARA BAY (11) was not disgraced when running fifth at Thurles in January. Deserves respect with a view to the future.

Third-up today. Resuming finished seventh of 19 runners at Naas on December 15 over 3218m, 17 len behind Oldschool Outlaw carrying 71.5kg at $67. Second run from a spell finished fourth in a small field at Fairyhouse in the G3 Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle on February 3 over 3721m, on rain affected going; 32 len behind Oldschool Outlaw carrying 68kg at $67. Fitter now and making headway every start. Hard to beat in this suitable event.
