Naas Race 6 - Irish Ebf Ballyhane Stakes (Median Sires Series)
LIVENKA (11) Was all too good winning by 1 1/2L last time at Fairyhouse and has a positive draw. Been in the money each start this preparation and promising career start. A win wouldn't surprise. WEEKEND ROAR (9) Game effort to win narrowly by a nose last run at Newmarket. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Has the ability to take this out. SOUTH DAKOTA (1) In the money when 3rd last start at Killarney but down in trip. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Winnable race. STAR PROSPECT (2) Nice run when 3rd last time at Cork and lining up against easier rivals. Looking sharp on the track since resuming from a break. Suitably placed in this race.

Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Killarney but rising in grade. Will be dropping in distance. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Ran well when 3rd last time at Cork and facing less formidable opponents. In a purple patch of form this preparation and showing consistent performance in races. Great chance.

Was $19.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last start at the track but challenged by less formidable competitors. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Others make far more appeal.

Was $51.00 and ordinary when 25th last time at Ascot but competing at a lower level of competition. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Very unlikely.

Odds of $23.00 and finished 6th last start at Leopardstown but having second career run. Displays good tactical speed. Matched against a stronger field. Long shot.

Odds of $12.00 and fairly underwhelming when 14th last run at this venue and competing at a higher level of competition. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Jumped at $23.00 and not up to scratch when 10th last start at Leopardstown and up in class. Might be ridden for luck. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.
