Fairyhouse Race 5 - Pat's Carpets Race
ZODIAC BEAR (6) has not raced since finishing third tackling 1408m at Leopardstown last year. That form looks strong for this and he appears ideally placed to return with a major effort. COWARDOFTHECOUNTY (2) found tougher company too much on penultimate start but bounced back with a solid Gowran Park second beaten 1.75L and could run well again attempting this level. Represents the main danger. MOSS TUCKER (4) was prominent before fading into sixth trying 1005m at Naas and the longer trip may suit. Makes appeal. OCEAN'S BREATH (9) is two from three this campaign after scoring here latest and deserves respect. Not discounted.

Third-up today. Comes off a 51 day let-up. First-up 8th of 11 at Leopardstown in LR on April 15 over 1609m, 6 len behind The Lion In Winter carrying 60.5kg at $51. Last start 2nd in a small field at Gowran Park on April 22 over 1408m, slow going 1.75 len behind City Of Memphis with 60.5kg at $9. Well placed. Could easily blow them away in the dying stages.
