Knockna can set the record straight

KNOCKNA FINBAR, unlucky when failing to land the odds last time, can set the record straight by taking the seventh race at Youghal tonight.

Denis Fitzgerald’s 13-times winner was challenging for the lead when shut off at the third bend last Monday week, eventually finishing fifth.

Successful in two of his three previous starts, including a trap-to-line 29.30 run three weeks ago, Knockna Finbar can recoup losses here.

The ultra-consistent Crabby Patty, on a hat-trick following recent 29.34 and 29.64 wins, reads the danger.

Cavies Mags gets the vote in the feature race, the Advert Space For Sale A6 Stakes final.

A runaway 29.58 heat winner, Cavies Mags is favoured by another inside draw and should take a deal of pegging back.

Meanwhile the lightly-raced Sinforiano can land the second sprint at Curraheen Park.

A winner in Open class at Shelbourne last month, John Linehan’s runner started favourite on his first run here last week, but failed to overcome a wide draw, finishing second in 17.86. Expected to benefit for the experience and a switch to the inside, Sinforiano can recoup losses.

Fleetwood Benji, who got off the mark in style at the third attempt at Youghal recently, recording a runaway 29.59 success, can go on improving in heat one of the Burger & Beer Deal A4 575.

Spade Hawk notched back-to-back wins over this course and distance before being knocked over last time.

If none the worse for the experience, she can bounce back in heat three.
