Fairyhouse Race 1 - Winter Festival Early Bird Ticket Claiming Race
EIGHTEENTH SMILES (1) was slowly away before getting it together and finishing well landing a success at Cork last month. Should appreciate dropping back in trip and hard to oppose in what appears a more moderate affair. CUDAWUDASHUDA (6) finished 1.75L behind the winner when fourth of ten last week at Naas. Improvement anticipated adopting first-time blinkers. Serious player. SHESTHEDEVIL (2) failed to progress in three outings since her maiden victory at Navan. Hold claims if proving strong in the market. CLOUGHLEAGH BRIDGE (4) looks held for win purposes but could contest the placings. Shortlist.

Most recently 5th of 10 at Navan on September 5 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Lars Soldier carrying 56.5kg at $19. The run before that 6th of 8 at Curragh on August 16 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Howlin Wolf with 61kg at $5.50. Hard to fault if at her best.

Had two starts to date. At long odds at debut, ran last in a small field in the G3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown on July 23 over 1408m, 14 len behind Florida Bay carrying 59.5kg at $34. Last start 7th of 12 at Dundalk All Weather on September 18 over 1207m, 5 len behind Value Pending carrying 60kg at $6.50. Won't find this as tough so expected to feature prominently.
