Tasitiocht should continue Mullins’ rich vein of form

A smooth odds-on winner at Kilbeggan last time, Tasitiocht should continue Willie Mullins’ rich vein of form by following-up in tonight’s bumper in Cork, the August Bank Holiday Flat Race.

The Oscar mare was the stable’s selected when beaten by stable-companion Glens Melody in a valuable mares event at the Punchestown Festival, a rock-solid debut effort. Glens Melody went on to triumph again at Sligo and Tipperary, confirming herself a well above average bumper performer. And Tasitiocht fulfilled the promise shown at Punchestown when coasting to a six-and-a-half lengths win over Dale Street in a modest Kilbeggan event early last month.

Willie Mullins has found an ideal opportunity for Tasitiocht in tonight’s contest. Patrick Mullins’ mount, sure to be sent off a hot favourite, should not be opposed.
