Thurles Race 4 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mdn Hurdle
This could be a good opportunity for DOCTOR ELVIS (2) to get off the mark who has a habit of finishing second. Filled the same spot when beaten 1.75L in a 4400m Galway maiden hurdle latest. Sets a decent form standard and may finally gain the breakthrough. Biggest danger looks to be ZAMBEZI MOON (1). Winner of a Cork jumpers flat by 3.5L in April while best hurdling effort came most recently when 10L second in a 3700m Listowel maiden hurdle. Open to development. PACY MACIE (7) adds cheekpieces following a seventh trying 4200m in a Navan maiden hurdle. More needed. THE GOOSE'S ACRE (5) resumes after a 206-day break. Rates best of the rest.

Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, finished tenth of 16 starters at Listowel on September 20 over 4425m, 40 len behind Run Ted Run with 75.5kg at $81. Last start finished seventh of 12 starters at Clonmel on October 22 over 3419m, 51 len behind City Of Cork carrying 75.5kg at $126. This looks a stern test.

Comes off a 54 day let-up. Last run finished seventh of 15 starters at Navan on September 19 over 4224m, 26 len behind Emerald Enigma with 69kg at $67. Start before finished fifth of 12 runners at Wexford on August 28 over 4828m, 10 len behind Something Fabulous carrying 66kg at $29. Continues to make headway. Certainly worth including.
