Flurry best of a moderate bunch
The second stage of Tramore this evening, if the meeting gets the green light, will cater for 96 of the beasties, but, astonishingly, almost twice as many - 180 - were balloted out yesterday morning.
Declan Gillespie’s Vanity Jane was set to get the nap in the Anglo Irish Bank Maiden over nine furlongs.
But after watching the three races which took place at the Waterford track yesterday, Gillespie said he would not risk the filly.
In her absence the moderate Flurry Knox, a reasonable sixth behind Ulysees at Galway, is a hopeful choice.
Former winning pointer An Fraoch Mor could be the answer to the opening WLR FM Maiden Hurdle.
He performed with promise at Cork last week when beaten four lengths and a length into third spot behind Fey Macha and Good Vintage.
Park Leader, who was slowly into his stride and didn’t look happy on the rain-softened ground at Galway, race won by Camargue, gets the nod in the Curran Foods Handicap. The nine-year-old showed his liking for this course in distance in June when taking a maiden in smooth fashion.
Kilcarrig House, who caught the eye at Cork on Monday night when sixth to Sage Dancer, gets the nod in the Kiely Gaule Financial Services Handicap Hurdle.
