Tramore Race 4 - Success Days At Kilbarry Lodge Stud Mares Maiden Hurdle
POETIC TWIST (8) rates the one to beat after a narrow 2nd at Killarney over 4517m, beaten 0.3L, following another 2nd at Cork over 3822m. LUCIOLE DES BORDES (4) is a key danger with placings at Punchestown and Gowran Park earlier this season before a 4th at Clonmel over 3991m. MUTED MELODY (5) brings solid recent form, last start 3rd at Clonmel over 3364m, and has multiple placings at this level. MYSILVERRIVERFEALE (6) was 5th at Killarney over 4517m and can be around the mark again. Something for the Multiples: POETIC TWIST (8) LUCIOLE DES BORDES (4) MUTED MELODY (5) REBEL QUEEN (10)
