Form and fitness point to a Postulation success

Postulation, a course and distance winner last August, should be tough to beat in the four-runner Irish Stallion Farms Race in Killarney tonight.

The Dermot Weld-trained gelding was helped by a visor when scoring at Dundalk last time, when he held The Happy Prince in a similar conditions event. Although apparently suited by the fast surface in Dundalk, Postulation has solid form in heavy ground, notably his length second to Success Days on his seasonal debut in Cork.

Success Days has, of course, gone on to win two Group 3 Derby trials at Leopardstown to put himself firmly in the classic picture.
