Downpatrick Race 7 - Joe Rea Memorial Mares Flat Race
TRICKSOFTHETRADE (12) placed 11.3L third over 3200m at Cork making rules debut. Taken to register her first win. KENISA SPORT (5) looks a big threat following a 2.5L second attempting a 3400m jumpers flat event at Down Royal. BROOMFIELD ADERRA (3) raced prominently prior to finishing 9.5L third contesting a 4000m jumpers flat race at Fairyhouse delivering initial rules outing. Shortlist. DERRYVILLE (4) is another to consider after a 14.8L fifth in the previously mentioned Fairyhouse race.

Having third race start. At very big odds at debut, 4th in a small field at Down Royal on April 13 over 4023m, 36 len behind Nastya carrying 69.5kg at $126. Second-up 12th of 24 at Fairyhouse on April 22 over 4023m, on a slow track; 32 len behind Locked Box with 72kg at $201. Doesn't look one of the major players.
