Downpatrick Race 4 - Download The Tote App Mares Handicap Hurdle
MAID ON THE MOON (7) out-ran big odds earlier this month scoring by an easy 14L in a 4000m mares handicap hurdle at Leopardstown. Finds ideal opportunity to follow up. Leading contender. JOUEUSE ROYALE (2) represents a top yard. Showed promise when 0.5L second in a 3200m maiden hurdles at Thurles. Rates highly. OUT FOR A STROLL (4) looks progressive this season with a 0.5L victory in a 3200m Limerick maiden hurdle preceding a good second on heavy going in a Punchestown handicap hurdle. Can go well again. STRETCHEMOUT (6) rates an interesting option.

Last start finished sixth of 16 runners at Gowran Park on March 8 over 4023m, slow track; 32 len behind John The Diva carrying 69.5kg at $10. The start before that; finished second of 23 runners at Fairyhouse on February 22 over 4023m, slow track; 4.5 len behind Westernersunrise carrying 69kg at $21. Might find this a bit too tough.
