Downpatrick Race 7 - Downpatrick Racecourse Family Funday Supporters Flat Race
PAYSLIP (9) looked a nice prospect when finishing a close second in two strong looking points. Likely to improve further now under rules and finds a nice opportunity here. Leading contender. REMEMBERWHAT (6) shaped well when 3.5L fourth on debut at Kilbeggan. Looked sure to improve for that and there could be any amount more to come yet. Keep safe. BE MY FORTUNE (1) indicated ability in points and now switches to rules. Represents a good stable and expected to factor amongst this field. LOVES A LAUGH (10) is a nicely bred filly by Vadamos. Yard can certainly ready one for debut so is well worth a market check to determine expectations.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign didn't finish the race at Fairyhouse P2p April 26 over 4828m. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Tattersalls P2p October 26 over 4828m. He doesn't look likely to threaten here.

This Poet's Word gelding is a five-year-old having his first start. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

At debut, 4th of 14 at Kilbeggan on June 15 over 3218m, 3.5 len behind Johnny Rambo with 73kg at $23. Promising six-year-old gelding who is ideally placed to take this out.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 2nd of 9 at Monksgrange P2p on March 29 over 4828m, slow going head behind Gambling Echo with 60kg. First up last campaign 2nd of 11 at Turtulla P2p on January 11 over 4828m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Ivana D'alco with 60kg. Prepared to give one final chance to break through.

Four-year-old filly by Vadamos out of Mill Quest having her first start. Profiles well for this and expected to measure up.
