Sligo Race 6 - Guinness Hcp
CHICAGO MOON (1) may go back-to-back. Impressed gaining a 2.5L Killarney success over 2300m in a handicap. Lightly raced filly off a low mark so poised to continue taking advantage of winnable opportunities. Leading player. PRIVATE LARRY (3) won latest flat start in a 2400m Bellestown handicap impressing with a 3.5L win. Subsequently delivered a good Killarney run managing a 0.5L third in a 3400m maiden hurdle. Brings top form and rates a definite chance. MARE CRISIUM (2) was only beaten 2L when fourth over 1900m at Ballinrobe last time tackling a handicap. Might improve from that. CANON LAW (11) is another to consider running second in a 2300m Killarney handicap on penultimate try.
