Clonmel Race 6 - Botanica International Rated Novice Chase
THE GREAT NUDIE (3) Ran 3rd last start in a chase at Thurles. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Jockey Sean Flanagan has been successful aboard previously. Winning hope. GREAT UNIVERSE (7) Ran well when 3rd last run in a chase at Downpatrick and gets some weight taken off. Likely to get back in the field. Well placed and has solid claims. LITTLEFOOT (2) Made no mistakes when winning by 4 1/4L last start in a chase at Downpatrick. Key player. CORAL RIVER (1) First run back from break. Nice run when 2nd last run in a chase at Fairyhouse. Keep in mind.

Second-up today. First-up after four months finished third of 9 runners at Downpatrick on March 29 over 3922m, 7 len behind Littlefoot with 75.5kg at $9.50. Previously second-up didn't finish the race at Navan on December 6 over 4123m. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
