Now let’s analyze and assess the top contenders based on the comments:
- Right Now (IRE):
Right Now is a twice-raced colt who finished second in a maiden at Sligo on his return, being better placed than most. With the trainer going well, he is open to improvement and should be considered a strong contender. - Hutton Glen (IRE):
Hutton Glen is a thrice-raced gelding who finished seventh in a maiden at Roscommon, showing little. Based on that performance, he is not a strong contender in this race. - Dutch Gold (IRE):
Dutch Gold is a fairly useful colt who finished third in a maiden at Limerick, demonstrating creditable form. He is up in trip and surely has a race in him, making him a worthy contender. - Siouxanne (IRE):
Siouxanne is a Sioux Nation filly who made her debut with a fourth-place finish in a maiden at Limerick, showing good form despite needing a stronger gallop. With improvement expected, she could be a contender in this race.
Additional Considerations:
The Great Kingdom finished tenth in a maiden at Tipperary on debut and is likely to improve in time. Dalliances finished sixth in a maiden at Gowran and will be wearing cheekpieces for the first time. Tom Red finished ninth in a maiden at Sligo on debut and has room for improvement. Cosmic Lady is an interesting newcomer from a yard having a good spell. Night Glow has a pedigree with lots to like on paper. San Guido and Lynskey are yet to show form in their races.
Special Mention:
Siouxanne stands out as a horse with an exceptional chance based on the comments. Despite needing a stronger gallop in her debut, she finished fourth and is expected to improve. With that form in the book, Siouxanne should be considered a strong contender in this race.
