Punchestown Race 5 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Median Auction Mdn
BACK STRAIGHT (3) returns after finishing 0.5L second over 1600m at Punchestown on his sole start last September keeping on strongly behind Port Of Spain. That debut form gives him leading claims. XIRIVELLA (14) has finished third on her last two starts beaten 1.25L tackling 1600m at Naas before filling the same position at Navan. Main danger. FLEUR DE PROVENCE (12) was runner-up on her first two starts defeated 1.25L at Naas and a short head at Gowran before disappointing over 2000m at Leopardstown. First-time cheekpieces could help and she makes appeal. SALIBA (9) finished fifth at Galway after a 3.25L sixth at Naas. Further improvement would put him in the mix and he is not discounted.

Four-year-old filly by Dawn Approach out of Morga on debut. The betting is the best pointer to her chances.

Resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fifth of 15 at Gowran Park June 12 over 1911m, 1.3 len behind Faro Island carrying 65kg at $29. Previously first up; 21st of 25 at Curragh March 15 over 1609m, on rain affected going; 30 len behind Ribee with 54kg at $51. Should give a great sight.
