J.J. Burke Peugeot Handicap

Proven on today's going at 1m, Sands Castle was off the pace and well beaten at Fairyhouse last time and remains without a win in recent starts. Needs to take a step forward, and the step up in trip today is a question mark given her best form has been over the minimum.

Fourth at Fairyhouse last time on better ground after a switch to that surface, Onyeisi is proven at 10–12f on AW and good and holds a fair mark on his UK form. First-time blinkers are a new element — capable of building on that latest effort and a genuine danger here, though he remains winless in recent starts.

Held up off the pace at Gowran Park last time without ever landing a blow, Flagstone Lady usually races from off the pace — the step up in trip today may suit her hold-up style better. Winless in recent starts and below the leaders on ratings, she needs improvement to trouble them.

A winner at Ballinrobe on her penultimate outing and running close to her mark in fifth at Gowran Park last time, A Pretty Penny is effective at 8–10f on a sound surface and returns to familiar conditions. Proven over course and distance, this looks a prime opportunity for her to go close again.

Off the pace and beaten nine lengths at Down Royal last time, Tavarua wears a visor for the first time and is open to improvement now entering handicap company. Proven over today's distance and going, the new headgear could sharpen her — a danger if it has the desired effect.
