Sligo Race 2 - Martin Reilly Hyundai Mares Maiden Hurdle
EYE OF A TIGER (2) placed on all three career starts so far including a third at Kilbeggan most recently. Can turn those efforts into a first win. LILAC LADY (4) previously placed third at this venue prior to a disappointing fifth at Downpatrick. Might bounce back. BACKWITHYOUROWN (1) recorded a joint career best when fourth at Kilbeggan last time. Could make the placings. WHISPERING HOPES (6) rounds out the shortlist.
