Naas Race 4 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mdn Hurdle
MINELLA MACHINE (8) Resuming after a spell of 33 weeks. Was a comprehensive winner by 4 1/4L last start at Wexford. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . ADABOY MUSHY (1) First run back from a 27 week break. Fought on well to win a tight contest by 1/2L last time at Punchestown. Kevin Healy takes a large claim. Respect in this event. GOT THE HONOURS (6) Gavin Cromwell 5yo by Crystal Ocean having first race start. Watch early betting. CLAUDE DU VAL (3) Back from a 31 week break. Came in 5th last run in a hurdle at Fairyhouse. Expecting improvement. Gets a chance to win.

Resuming from spell of 27 weeks. Game effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last time at Punchestown. The large claim from Kevin Healy helps. Good chance of taking this out.

Was $101.00 and lacklustre showing when 14th last start in a hurdle at Gowran Park. Likely to get back in the field. Very difficult to back.

Resumes after a 33 week spell. Odds of $6.00 and ordinary performance when 6th last time at Wexford but fitter for debut run. Not interested today.

Jumped at $67.00 and disappointing display when 15th last run in a hurdle at Galway but having second career run. Needs to find a lot more.
