Gowran Park Race 1 - Societies Welcome At Gowran Park Maiden
BAMAKO BEACH (2) made an encouraging debut at Naas in September finishing a neck second contesting a 1400m event. Returns after a break with a first time hood fitted and looks capable of a bold show. THE PUBLICAN'S SON (9) finished runner up in two of his four starts including by 1L at Cork a fortnight ago. This drop in trip isn't a negative and rates a major player. STARRED (8) was gradually making progress last season and may now get involved providing first outing as a three year old. SHAWS BAY (6) was not disgraced on debut managing a well held fourth effort on soft ground. Worth noting with a view to the future.

Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 13 at this track on April 8 over 1408m, on a slow track; 22 len behind Bobby Mcgee carrying 61kg at $81. Last start 7th of 10 at Limerick on April 25 over 1408m, 7 len behind God Of Power carrying 58.5kg at $201. Can't recommend on that form, looking to others.
