Fairyhouse Race 2 - Royal County Optional Claiming Race
GLORIOUSLY GLAM (3) bounced back to form gaining her fourth turf victory when beating PROFIT SURGE (4) by 0.5L over 1400m at Gowran Park eight-days-ago. The latter has now placed in five from seven starts for the Gerard Keane stable and poses the main danger in first-time blinkers however preference is to the former who can follow up that success with another bold showing under Adam Caffrey. Any moves in the market for the hooded THREE SIXTEEN (2) should be noted on his first outing for the Alan McIntyre yard while TAWAAZON (1) has five wins attempting the journey and cannot be dismissed providing seasonal reappearance.
