Everything in place for a big run from Gael

Everything looks to be in place for a big run from Gael Taca in tonight’s closing race at Curraheen Park and she rates nap material to make the most of the opportunity.

She was arguably a touch disappointing when beaten here last time out but this is a lesser contest and if she can break as she did on that occasion, it seems unlikely that she’ll be reeled in this time.

Kieran Lynch’s bitch has a nice touch of early pace and a good draw, to boot, and she’s very much capable of leading all the way. She’ll have to post a time on or a little below 29 seconds if she’s to hold off some of these rivals but that looks well within her capabilities and she’s taken to lead the way home, with Kilbarry Lady in tow.
