Down Royal Race 7 - Hovis Ireland Mares Flat Race
HILLY FILLY (3) Won by 1 1/4L last time at Cork and was on debut last time. Large claim helps. Expect to go close. BREDAS PEARL (4) Came in 2nd last run at Wexford and good career start. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Good prospects. CLOVELLY CHARM (1) Bold effort to win last run at Sligo. Can take this out. POET'S CREEK (8) Poet's Word 5yo on debut for trainer David Christie. R M Mcparland provides some weight relief. Betting is the best guide.

Good win by 1 1/4L last time at Cork and having second career run. The large claim from L P Shanahan should help. Gets a chance against these.

Started $21.00 and ran 5th last time at Tramore but having second race start. Jockey A P Ryan and trainer Peter Fahey are an appealing combination. Marginal prospect.
