Cork Race 1 - Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden
ALASKAN BEAR (1) shaped with real promise on debut when 3.75L second under James Ryan ten-days-ago at Naas. Drops back in trip. Serious player second-up. BELLE OF THE BALL (11) also showed plenty on racecourse debut at the Curragh when a creditable fifth of twelve over 1207m. The two-year-old was only beaten 2.75L that day and improvement is expected. Heads the list of dangers. AWAY AND GONE (10) is a daughter of Ardad out of Organza making her first start under rules. Of interest if strong in the betting. BIT OF A BUZZ (2) finished third of seven tackling the trip at Naas and could be in the mix again.

First-starter by Kameko out of Showtank. Tough to line up. Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.
