Downpatrick Race 7 - J Murdoch Contracts Flat Race
MOJA DAMA (8) made the frame when third at Kilbeggan over 3218m. Looks hard to beat. BELLS GROVE (4) ran third at Sligo tackling 3721m and is in the mix. TROPICAL TWIST (9) is a four-year-old filly from the Gordon Elliott yard debuting. Brings a profile to be competitive. Newcomers MINELLA JURY (2) and DESERTMORE CHARM (1) could both play a role in the finish.

Six-year-old gelding (Mahler - Clydagh Gold) making his debut. Capable of a cheeky run.

Resuming after a break of five months. Finished off last campaign failed to finish at Kilbeggan April 25 over 3922m. First up last campaign second last of 7 at Bellewstown April 12 over 3419m, 24 len behind Coyote Spirit with 70kg at $51. Placed when fresh in the past but seems a bit out of her depth.

Four-year-old filly (Saddex - Tropical Way) at the races for the first time. Should run a bold race.
