Sligo Race 2 - Martin Reilly Hyundai Mares Mdn Hurdle
CIRCUS HILL (2) has been showing plenty of promise here in recent months managing a 1L second in a 3600m jumpers flat race at this venue before a first past the post (demoted to second by stewards after) at the same track and trip twenty five days ago. Respect on hurdle debut. SEA FELIZ (8) represents a top stable. The mare finished a disappointing tenth in a 4200m maiden hurdle at Roscommon a month ago and open to plenty of improvement makes the shortlist among this company. The unexposed SPEISIALTA (9) shaped well three starts back when fourth in a 3200m jumpers flat contest at Punchestown first up. Might feature. MY ELUSIVE MATE (13) rates next best.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, finished fifth of 10 runners at Ballinrobe on May 26 over 3218m, 67 len behind Witches Familiar carrying 67kg at $29. Second-up finished seventh of 11 runners at Kilbeggan on July 10 over 3218m, 50 len behind Luciole Des Bordes with 64.5kg at $67. Definite winning chance. Likely improver who can feature.
