Sligo Race 8 - Clayton Hotel Mares Flat Race
CIRCUS HILL (4) goes in search of a first triumph and brings plenty of experience having run in four of these contests before. She won't need to be too far off the level of form of her runner up finish last month over course and distance to win. CHURCHFIELD ANNIE (3) finished third in a first time tongue strap at Downpatrick last month. Could easily go forward and get involved. Newcomer HILL OF BALLYLINE (6) is from a powerful stable and owned by the trainer. Closely related to winners and market check advised. MOYNEARD (10) is another with plenty of experience but needs a personal best for win purposes. Best watched.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 14 at this track on June 9 over 3621m, 3.5 len behind Pets Georgina carrying 72.5kg at $7. The run before that 5th of 9 at Ballinrobe on May 26 over 3218m, 12 len behind Fiveandahalf with 70kg at $6.50. This looks the ideal assignment.
