Fairyhouse Race 3 - Fairy Nights Handicap
JUST BEFORE (5) raced from a reasonable mark when third over 1207m at the Curragh last start. Returning to this trip will suit. Good claims. Expensive yearling purchase ROOSEVELT (2) improved markedly from debut winning a 2414m Leopardstown maiden last month. This sharp reduction in trip doesn't look an obvious move. VA VA VROOM (1) progressed as anticipated from a promising maiden win attempting this journey at Leopardstown last year. Adopts first-time tongue-tie. Unexposed Churchill filly BOYNE VALLEY (10) makes for each-way appeal from foot of the weights.

Second run back. First-up after eight months second last in a small field at Naas on May 18 over 1609m, 9 len behind Beckman carrying 62kg at $15. Previously second-up won by 3.5 len at Leopardstown July 18 over 1408m defeating Broski with 58kg at $1.50. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under her belt.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Most recently 10th of 15 at Naas on April 28 over 1609m, 12 len behind Shiota carrying 57.5kg at $67. The run before that 5th of 7 at Gowran Park on April 16 over 1408m, 7 len behind Saint Brandon with 61kg at $34. Will not find this easy. Will need to improve sharply.
