Invincible Woman can lead rivals a merry dance

INVINCIBLE Woman can lead her rivals a merry dance in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Race at Tipperary this evening, where the meeting is subject to a precautionary inspection at 8am due to the threat of waterlogging.

Frances Crowley’s filly made a promising start when third to the useful Irish Jig at Leopardstown and then got off the mark in emphatic fashion at Down Royal.

The daughter of that good sprinter, Invincible Spirit, showed a lot of speed to score unextended by seven lengths and should prove capable of handling the expected soft ground.

Aidan O’Brien runs two in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden, the newcomer Lucifer Sam and the failed Curragh gamble Magna Cum Luade, but neither may cope with Slaney Rock.

Jim Bolger’s colt has been making steady improvement, producing his best effort to date when a length and a half second to another Ballydoyle inmate, Greek Mythology, at Leopardstown.

In-form Keys Pride is fancied to complete a hat-trick in the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Insurances Novice Hurdle. She was returning from a break when landing a Punchestown handicap and was then impressive in a conditions race at Tralee.

Willie Mullins’ Rosy Cyborg looks the one to beat in the Well Chosen and Kedrah House Stud Bumper. He got off the mark at the first time of asking in smooth style in a moderate event at Sligo, but can only improve for the experience and stepping up another four furlongs in trip should work in his favour.

Paul Cashman’s Indian love showed improved form when fourth to Noble Prize at Fairyhouse on Sunday and should at least go close in the Music and Barbeque Maiden Hurdle.
