Ballinrobe Race 8 - John Madden & Sons (Pro-Am) Flat Race
IRON SWORD (1) Was competitive when 3rd last start at Roscommon. Should jump out and bowl along. Good enough for this and worth a bet . GAELIC SEER (5) 4yo by Masar on debut for trainer J Kiely & T Kiely. Watch betting. LE GRAND RETOUR (2) Peter Fahey 4yo by Goliath Du Berlais having first start. Watch early betting. REAL LARK (6) Vadamos 4yo on debut for John Patrick Ryan. The large claim from L Costello helps. Watch the market.

Started at $67.00 and came in 6th last time at Kilbeggan. Likely to get back in the run. Brian Barry provides some weight relief. Prefer in something easier.
