Thurles Race 2 - Irish Ebf Auction Series Mdn (Smullen Series)
DAWNMORE (11) Nice run when 3rd last start at Listowel and showing consistent performance in races. In the placings on multiple occasions this campaign but competing in a more challenging grade. Worth consideration. LASH LA RUE (13) Debutant 2yo by Kessaar for trainer Noel Meade. Market as guide. KING CHRISTOPH (12) Ran 2nd last time at Listowel and fitter for debut run. Matched against a stronger field. Serious player. EVAN D INVINCIBLE (2) 2yo by Invincible Spirit having initial appearance for Mark Michael Mcniff and drawn nicely. Betting as a guide.

Jumped at $151.00 and below standard effort when 13th last run at Punchestown but was a debutant last start. Expected to settle towards the rear. Matched against tougher rivals. Looks hopeful.
