Sligo Race 2 - Martin Reilly Hyundai Mares Mdn Hurdle
CIRCUS HILL (2) Failed to finish at this venue on July 12th. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Should be in the finish. SPEISIALTA (9) Mediocre performance when 10th last run at Wexford. Looks promising in this race. AN LACHIN BEAG (1) First up from a break of 31 weeks and nice run when 3rd first up last preparation at Naas. The large claim from Paddy Cleary should help. Respect against this field. MAROEL (11) 4yo first starter by Blue Bresil for Maike Magnussen. The large claim from Conor Clarke helps. Betting as a guide.

First up from a break of 31 weeks and came in 3rd first up last preparation at Naas. Paddy Cleary takes a large claim. Solid claims.

Resuming after a break of 32 weeks. Odds of $29.00 and disappointing display when 14th last run at Thurles but fitter for debut run. Very minor chance.
