Tiger one to note

THREE heats of the John O’Brien A3 Stake top the bill at Youghal this evening and Knowsley Tiger is one to note in the opener.

The selection is a progressive sort, boasting a record of nine wins from 16 starts.

Knowsley Tiger easily justified favouritism in 17.80 here recently and should take plenty of pegging back. Star Role, a wide margin 29.11 winner at Clonmel and in the wars when unplaced at Shelbourne on his only subsequent start, reads the danger.

Bernadette Connolly, trainer of Knowlsey Tiger, can complete a double with Battling Honcho in heat two. Battling Honcho made it three wins from four starts when scoring in 29.63 recently and can go in improving.

Burgess Flash, impressive when landing the odds in 29.74 and can continue on an upward curve in heat three.

Rebel baby, a 29.68 winner, should go well from an inside slot in heat one of the Track Supporters A5 Stake, a remark that also applies to Belindas Best in heat two.
