Down Royal Race 1 - Irish Ebf Median Sires Series Mdn
BIT OF A BUZZ (2) On a quick turnaround. Ran 5th last run at Navan. Happy to overlook that run. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Big claims. TANGO CLUB (10) Came in 5th last start at Sligo. Has the ability to turn things around. Should go close. MONOLOGUE (1) Stephen Thorne trained 2yo by Dandy Man having first race start. Watch betting. GUS MCCRAE (3) On a quick back up. Unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time at Navan but having second career run. Chance.

Racing on a quick back up. Jumped at 7/2 and finished 5th last run at Navan. Happy to overlook that run. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Should go well.

On a short turnaround. Started at 12/1 and was nothing special when 7th last time at Navan but having second career run. Watch for a sign in the market.

At 400/1 only fair when 13th last run at Cork. Does take a while to get into stride. Hard to see it being competitive today.

First up from a break. Odds of 11/1 and average at best when 8th last start at Gowran Park but fitter for debut run. Conor Cusack provides some weight relief. Prefer in something weaker.

Started 25/1 and mediocre performance when 14th last time at Curragh but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the run. Would rather look at others.

Was 200/1 and disappointing display when 13th last run at Naas but was a debutant last start. Gets back and needs luck. Drawn the rails. Hard to see this being competitive today.
