Cork Race 1 - Leisure Dome Ltd. Marquee Hire Maiden Hurdle
OAKS SOLDIER (8) left behind four disappointing efforts to lose out narrowly by a nose finishing runner-up in a 4600m Thurles handicap hurdle a month ago. Can go one better. STRANGE CURRENCY (9) placed a respectable third contesting a Punchestown maiden hurdle before finishing sixth in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle last month. May bounce back. BELLADONA PRINCESS (13) improved markedly from finishing ninth at Navan to place second in a Limerick maiden hurdle. Wears first time cheekpieces and warrants thought as expected to challenge. NOPRESENTLIKETIME (7) cannot be discounted representing a leading stable.

Six-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Sholokhov out of Dear Songbird. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give him this.

Freshened for 32 days. Last outing finished second of 18 runners at Thurles on March 5 over 3319m, 8 len behind Arslan with 73.5kg at $101. Race before finished 12th of 16 runners at Clonmel on February 26 over 3922m, in the wet; 110 len behind Kiely's Place carrying 71.5kg at $301. Certainly worth another chance in this suitable contest.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign 13 of 14 starters at Ballinrobe May 26 over 3319m, 237 len behind Caman Hill with 71kg at $81. First ever start ran didn't finish the race at Rathcannon P2p April 6 over 4828m. May be suited by the longer distance but making up the numbers on recent form.
