Sligo Race 4 - Enda McGoldrick, Plant & Agri Hire Maiden Hurdle
SPECULATEUR (4) placed last five attempts. Unfortunate to remain a maiden under rules finishing 7L third at Clonmel last time which reads as very strong form and finding ideal opportunity could discover winning ways. Hard to oppose confidently. RED OR WHITE (3) makes first start after a nine month absence. Creditable efforts in this grade last campaign and can improve further yet. Big winning chance. TRADONTHEBAY (7) placed twice in four outings so far. Well beaten in latest when tiring. Drop in trip will help. Each way hope. THE GREAT DECEIVER (6) is a nicely bred gelding. Check market to determine readiness for debut.

Five-year-old gelding by Berkshire out of Dubai Petal has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Might just need this run but watch the market.

Five-year-old mare who is first race starter by Maxios out of Hard Fought. Tough test at her first appearance so prefer to see.

This Dylan Thomas bred mare is now seven-year-old and his having her first race start. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give her this.
