Cork Race 2 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Nursery Hcp (Birdcatcher Series)
PINK VENOM (4) On a short back up. Scored a victory by 2L last time at Fairyhouse and putting a tidy record together so far. Very competitive this campaign but rises in weight. Looks suited and must be respected. WHOSINTERVIEWINWHO (2) Below expectations when 13th last time at Down Royal but drawn well. Might have to make up considerable ground. Has to cope with a weight increase. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat. BEST LOVE (5) Chimed in with a win by 3/4L last run at Navan but has more weight to carry. Likely to get back. In the mix. HOWLIN WOLF (6) Close to claiming the win last start at Navan but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Will be around the mark at odds.

Did well when 2nd last time at Curragh but bit of extra work to do with more weight. Likely to get back in the run. Could not recommend.

Was $2.62 and well beaten when 13th last time at Down Royal but has drawn to do little work. Might be ridden for luck. Rising in weight. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.

Odds of $8.50 and came in 4th last time at Naas but drawn nicely. Displays good tactical speed. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

On a short turnaround. Nice effort when winning by 2L last time at Fairyhouse and promising career start. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Has to be in the finish.

Did a good job when winning by 3/4L last run at Navan but carrying more weight than last time. Does take a while to get into stride. Represents significant value.

Backs up quickly. Odds of $7.50 and ran 4th last time at Fairyhouse. Overlooking the last run. Won't be far away during the run. Reasonable chance.
