Gowran Park Race 7 - Dine At Gowran Park Race
ROMZINA (9) looks up to resuming with a win on her first start since finishing 4.8L third in the 2400m Listed Bluebell Stakes at Naas last October. SALT BAY (7) registered a 25L seventh attempting a 3100m maiden hurdle at Navan in February. Expected to go well revisiting the flat. PERSIAN BLISS (1) won twice prior to finishing 1.5L second over 2100m at Dundalk. Must be considered. SAN SALVADOR (2) disappointed in the G2 Jake Richards Novices Limited Handicap Chase at Cheltenham last month. Notable contender seeking his second flat win of 2025.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation 14th of 17 at Curragh in the LR November 3 over 2414m, 32 len behind Hamish with 60.5kg at $51. Previous preparation first-up won by 2.5 len Galway August 2 over 2816m slow track defeating Run For Oscar carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Second run back. Comes off a 52-day let-up. First-up after four months 7th of 14 at Navan on February 9 over 3118m, 24 len behind Honesty Policy with 75.5kg at $5.
