Cork Race 2 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Race
THE PUBLICAN'S SON (6) Finished 5th last time at Leopardstown. Happy to overlook that run and facing less formidable opponents. Has very good closing speed. Gets a favourable stall. Goes close. DIAL ME IN (1) First up and brave effort to win narrowly by a short half head first up last preparation at Leopardstown. Interesting gear change of tongue tie on first time. Appears well in this. ZIA ZABEL (7) First up after 26 weeks and ran well when 2nd first up last preparation at Curragh. Should race on the speed. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion. ECHO OF FAITH (2) Below standard effort when 8th last time at Dundalk but will appreciate the drop in class. Interesting to see the blinkers go on for the first time. Knockout chance in this.

First up and managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins first up last preparation at Leopardstown. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Good chance of taking this out.

Jumped at $7.50 and unsatisfactory performance when 8th last time at Dundalk but facing a weaker grade. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time. Possible place chance.

First up and won narrowly by 1/2L first up last preparation at Leopardstown. Up against a less competitive field. Could put in your exotics.

At $5.50 came in 7th last run at Curragh. Should muster plenty of early speed. Place and exotics candidate.

At $26.00 clearly outclassed when 8th last start at Lingfield but competing in an easier class. Tongue tie on could be an important change. Likely to be well placed early. Place hope.

Was $13.00 and ran 5th last time at Leopardstown. Happy to overlook that run and will find this grade more suitable. Expected to be flashing home. Has a good draw. Expect support.

First up after 26 weeks and placed 2nd first up last preparation at Curragh. Should come to hand quickly. Will appreciate a good stall. Respect the betting.

Resuming after a spell of 49 weeks. Jumped at $151.00 and subpar when 6th last time at Leopardstown but having second race start. Will struggle against these.
