Longer trip looks sure to suit the promising Afreen

THE John Oxx bandwagon can roll relentlessly on at Tralee today, where he has prospects of a double with Afreen and Kossu.

The once-raced Afreen can provide the answer to the Meadowlands Hotel Maiden. The daughter of Entrepreneur made an eye-catching debut over nine furlongs at Fairyhouse earlier in the month.

She never promised to take a hand in the finish, but was noted doing her best work at the end when fourth behind stable companion, and heavily backed market leader, Kassna. The selection now steps up two furlongs in trip and that can only work in her favour!
