Rely on Barrack Patsy

The Makeshift Southern Oaks, which gets underway at Youghal Track tonight, has attracted a very strong entry and punters who avail of the free admission to the track will get to see some classy bitches in action.

The best bet on the card comes in the final heat, where Joe Collins’ Barrack Patsy looks drawn for a huge run. She impressed with three smart runs through a 525 yards stake at Limerick back in June, showing the right attitude when things went against her in the semi-final.

She broke 29 seconds in a recent trial here, which is no mean feat, and with the rails draw to play in her favour, she should take a world of beating. The danger is likely to come from Exciting Poppet.
