York Race 3 - Ire-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CORAL COVE (8) Managed to run into 2nd last run at Doncaster and having second career run. Jockey Kieran Shoemark and trainer James Owen link up well. Matched against tougher rivals. Should simply breeze past them to win. TRAVELLERS GIRL (7) Ran 3rd last run at Ripon and putting a tidy record together so far. Running with confidence since coming back from a break but facing stiffer opposition. Has the ability to figure. THE FIRST DROP (3) Finished 2nd last time at Carlisle and was on debut last time. Competing in a more challenging grade. Contender in this event. SPECIAL OPERATIONS (5) First time at the races 2yo by Churchill for Tim Easterby. Betting as a guide.

Odds of $34.00 and was ordinary when 8th last time at Ayr but having second race start. Not threatening these.

Was $11.00 and unimpressive effort when 10th last run at Ripon but having second career run. Racing for a new trainer and has drawn the rails. Others much better.

Nice run when 3rd last run at Ripon and promising career start. Looking sharp on the track since resuming from a spell but competing in a higher grade. Good potential.

Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at Doncaster and was a debutant last start. Jockey Kieran Shoemark and trainer James Owen are a combination worth following. Stamps its reason for consideration.
