Gowran Park Race 1 - Gowran Park Hurdle (Listed)

EL CAIROS (4) First up after a break. Finished 7th last time in a hurdle at Galway. Giving another go here. Finishes off strongly. Has the ability to take this out. EBONY KING (3) On a quick back up. Won by a big margin of 4L last run at Listowel. Likely to get back in the field. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. MISTER PESSIMISTIC (5) First up today. Ordinary performance when 8th last start in a hurdle at Punchestown. Can make a comeback and goes down in weight. Good prospects. SAMUI (6) Finished 5th last run in a hurdle at Galway. Is capable of a resurgence but will be dropping in distance. Include in chances.

Second-up today. First-up after five to post a big 4 len win. Listowel on September 25 over 2816m defeating Anyway with 67.5kg at $6.50. Previously second-up finished second of 7 starters at Fairyhouse in the G2 Donohue Marquees Juvenile Hurdle on April 5 over 3218m, 9 len behind Koktail Brut carrying 71.5kg at $29. Inform, but this a much tougher race than last outing. Prefer to see.
