Down Royal Race 3 - Irish Ebf Auction Series Mdn
WHOSINTERVIEWINWHO (8) was denied a victory by 0.75L at Galway on his most recent appearance. Showing encouraging signs and is fancied as the one to beat. SOVREIGNS JOY (4) took a marked step forward to finish second at Leopardstown over 1400m last time out. Wayne Lordan retains the ride. Likely to be popular in the betting again. LETMEENTERTAINYOU (1) produced a respectable fourth when 2.25L adrift at Leopardstown. Outran his odds and is expected to do so again. Shortlisted. GABBY HAYES (7) ran a moderate race to finish sixth over 1500m at Roscommon. Similar looking event and needs to show more.
