2.10 Naas (12 runners)
Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden
5f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

  1. Clarita (IRE) – 442.8
  2. Asean (IRE) – 383.3
  3. Back Down Under (IRE) – 378.2
  4. Seven Eleven – 309.0
  5. Tiscommonknowledge (IRE) – 303.5
  6. Butterfly Bush (IRE) – 299.4
  7. Oak Allye (IRE) – 262.0
  8. Storm Miami (IRE) – 147.4
  9. Heavenly Being (IRE) – 129.7
  10. Flamin Gem (IRE) – 108.7
  11. Masonbrook Meadow (IRE) – 71.9
  12. Altimara (IRE) – 57.0

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

  1. Altimara (IRE): Unraced filly with limited information available. The dam was a 1-mile winner, and the trainer has a poor record with 2-year-olds.
  2. Asean (IRE): Improved since debut, with decent ratings at Navan and Naas. Has a place chance.
  3. Back Down Under (IRE): Produced a good performance over C&D in the latest outing. Showed potential in previous runs as well. Another one with a place chance.
  4. Butterfly Bush (IRE): Showed no promise in a race at Fairyhouse. Unlikely to be a contender.
  5. Clarita (IRE): Won a barrier trial and had consistent performances at Cork, finishing behind a stablemate of Asean. Form pick but faces a potentially tougher race.
  6. Flamin Gem (IRE): Dam has no notable record, and sire’s progeny haven’t shown much success. Unlikely to be a contender.
  7. Heavenly Being (IRE): Half-sister to a 7f-1m winner. Sire has produced top sprinters. Considered a high rank with potential.
  8. Masonbrook Meadow (IRE): Sire is relatively new, and the dam was a placed runner in Italy. Unlikely to be a contender.
  9. Oak Allye (IRE): Has been out the back in previous races, including over C&D. Not showing much promise so far.
  10. Seven Eleven: Struggled in both starts at big prices. May be one to keep an eye on for nurseries.
  11. Storm Miami (IRE): Sire has had recent success, and the dam was a turf winner. The trainer has had double winners recently. Considered a potential contender.
  12. Tiscommonknowledge (IRE): Has been at long odds and out the back in previous races, including over C&D. Unlikely to be a contender.

Based on this analysis, the best pick based on ratings and comments would be Clarita (IRE). Although Asean (IRE) and Back Down Under (IRE) have shown promise, Clarita’s consistent performances and form make her the top choice.

Sat 8th Jul 2023
2.45 Naas (12 runners)
Irish EBF Median Sires Series Race
6f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

  1. Buyin Buyin (IRE) – 497.2
  2. Rush Queen (IRE) – 414.4
  3. Glamorously (IRE) – 373.7
  4. Charles Atlas (IRE) – 270.2
  5. Zelosa (IRE) – 227.3
  6. More Profit (IRE) – 137.2
  7. Cool Dan (IRE) – 131.2
  8. Emerald Banner (IRE) – 123.4
  9. Simplexity (IRE) – 93.9
  10. Nadowessi (IRE) – 88.5
  11. Mansa Musa (IRE) – 82.2
  12. Au Lait (IRE) – 65.6

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

  1. Au Lait (IRE): Late sire’s progeny tend to prefer easier conditions. Half-sister to winners and has a decent pedigree.
  2. Buyin Buyin (IRE): Impressive win on debut and improved on RPRs in the Marble Hill Stakes. Yard’s other runners haven’t performed well, but Buyin Buyin sets a high bar.
  3. Charles Atlas (IRE): Modest dam won five races for the same yard. Charles Atlas has shown similar ability in both starts.
  4. Cool Dan (IRE): Speedy pedigree with a dam who won over 5f. The yard is in good form, and the stable jockey rides.
  5. Emerald Banner (IRE): Sister to a stable’s winner and half-sister to multiple winners. Has a strong pedigree.
  6. Glamorously (IRE): Reportedly lost action at Cork but performed well at 14s. Yard has a potentially better horse in Emerald Banner, but Glamorously could also show improvement.
  7. Mansa Musa (IRE): Promising sire and trainer. Has a decent pedigree, being the first foal of a dam who won over 6f.
  8. More Profit (IRE): One of the sire’s best progeny won a 2yo Group 2 for the yard. Half-sister to an Italian winner, but the dam was unplaced in bumpers. Second in a barrier trial.
  9. Nadowessi (IRE): Classy young sire. Half-sister to a French winner, and the dam was a German winner. Tough start but wearing a tongue tie.
  10. Rush Queen (IRE): Showed promise at Curragh and had a nice finishing burst at Listowel. Has more to do in this race but could improve.
  11. Simplexity (IRE): Cheap young sire, considered the yard’s second string in this race. Has a decent pedigree, closely related to a Japanese winner and half-brother to multiple winners.
  12. Zelosa (IRE): Showed nothing at Cork and may need to improve.

Based on this analysis, the best pick based on ratings and comments would be Buyin Buyin (IRE). Despite the yard’s poor performance with other runners, Buyin Buyin’s impressive debut win and improvement in the Marble Hill Stakes make him the top choice.

Sat 8th Jul 2023
3.20 Naas (24 runners)
Rushes SuperValu Apprentice Handicap (47-65)
6f 

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

  1. Amanirenas (IRE) – 371.3
  2. Stanhope – 326.9
  3. Carlton Banks (IRE) – 319.3
  4. Catherine Chroi (IRE) – 317.8
  5. Zaza Zut (IRE) – 302.0
  6. Teddy Boy (IRE) – 298.5
  7. Improving (IRE) – 294.5
  8. At Long Last (IRE) – 292.8
  9. Cailin Cliste (IRE) – 292.1
  10. Brown Eagle (IRE) – 290.7
  11. It Might Be You (IRE) – 290.5
  12. Theriverrunsdeep (IRE) – 290.2
  13. Chrismoltisanti (IRE) – 284.5
  14. Elda (IRE) – 279.7
  15. Mogwli (IRE) – 278.9
  16. Florence Thompson (IRE) – 276.4
  17. Giocoso (IRE) – 268.3
  18. American In Paris (IRE) – 267.3
  19. Eriskay (IRE) – 264.8
  20. Tammany Hall (IRE) – 258.6
  21. Livingston Range (IRE) – 257.2
  22. Plankton (IRE) – 256.6
  23. Hot Whispers (IRE) – 246.8
  24. Stickyourneckout (IRE) – 187.3

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

  1. Amanirenas (IRE): Showed a return to form with a convincing win over 7f and a fine third over the same C&D. Drop in grade, but the shorter trip might not suit.
  2. Stanhope: Two wins at Navan last year and a good second at the same venue recently. Needs to improve on a recent run but has a high draw that could suit.
  3. Carlton Banks (IRE): C&D maiden winner last year but hasn’t won again since. Fair fourth on seasonal return. Nice mark now.
  4. Catherine Chroi (IRE): All three wins on AW, but running well on turf this season. Strong finish over 5f in the latest race. Return to 6f will suit.
  5. Zaza Zut (IRE): Placed over 5f in May but uncompetitive since. Was too keen in the last race.
  6. Teddy Boy (IRE): Turf wins all at 5f. Creditable effort in a large field at Naas last month. Might struggle over a stiff 6f.
  7. Improving (IRE): Without a win since 2020, but has been close on several occasions. Encouraging Curragh comeback run. Rain would be beneficial.
  8. At Long Last (IRE): Lightly raced filly with promise in her opening two maidens. Back in trip for handicap debut.
  9. Cailin Cliste (IRE): Winner over this trip at Curragh and Fairyhouse last summer. Needed recent comeback run. Should do better.
  10. Brown Eagle (IRE): Sole win came in a claimer. Promising seasonal return but struggled in the latest race. Keen sort, dropping in trip.
  11. It Might Be You (IRE): 28-race maiden. Best performance came with a third at Fairyhouse last month. Unlucky in the latest race. Blinkers replaced by cheekpieces.
  12. Theriverrunsdeep (IRE): Triple AW winner, showed some encouragement in recent turf return. Trip and ground are suitable. Nicely drawn.
  13. Chrismoltisanti (IRE): Cork maiden winner but struggled in handicaps recently. Blinkers now fitted but not highly appealing.
  14. Elda (IRE): Lightly raced filly who finished ahead of At Long Last in a Sligo maiden. Unexposed entering handicaps.
  15. Mogwli (IRE): Four-time winner, with the most recent victory at the Curragh. Running respectably this year.
  16. Florence Thompson (IRE): 39-race maiden but showed promise in two recent runs for a new yard. Mid-division in the latest race.
  17. Giocoso (IRE): Didn’t stay on in handicap debut. Back in trip but others are preferred.
  18. American In Paris (IRE): Dundalk AW winner over this trip. Not beaten far on turf recently but might be hindered by a low draw.
  19. Eriskay (IRE): Navan 2yo maiden winner but hasn’t shown much in two runs this season.
  20. Tammany Hall (IRE): Hard to win with, but C&D runner-up last summer. Needs improvement based on recent form.
  21. Livingston Range (IRE): Not far off best form when winning at Dundalk. Fair effort in two turf runs this year. More needed.
  22. Plankton (IRE): 0-13. Early career promise but unplaced in nine starts for the current yard. Uncompetitive in the latest race.
  23. Hot Whispers (IRE): 16-race maiden. Promising first run for the current yard, slowly away. Can’t be ruled out.
  24. Stickyourneckout (IRE): Okay comeback run but uncompetitive in the latest race. 6lb wrong.

Based on this analysis, the best pick based on ratings and comments would be Amanirenas (IRE). Despite concerns about the shorter trip, Amanirenas showed a return to form with an impressive win and a fine third. The drop in grade could work in her favor, and if the trip suits, she has a good chance of performing well.

3.55 Naas (8 runners)
Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap
6f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

  1. Coumshingaun (IRE) – 556.5
  2. Wave Machine (FR) – 513.5
  3. Sioux Spirit (IRE) – 474.7
  4. Talia (IRE) – 400.3
  5. Bells On Her Toes (IRE) – 391.3
  6. Karaoke (IRE) – 368.4
  7. Arthurs Victory (IRE) – 365.5
  8. Little Queenie (IRE) – 345.8

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

  1. Coumshingaun (IRE): In great form with a deserved win at the Curragh last weekend. Can be uneasy at the gates, which is a concern. Could lead and has a good chance of winning.
  2. Wave Machine (FR): C&D win came on heavy ground at 2. Poor performances this season. Best watched.
  3. Sioux Spirit (IRE): Back to form with a comfortable win over C&D. Carries a 9lb rise but this race looks weaker. Won at Navan before.
  4. Talia (IRE): Showed promise for the previous yard. Impressive win on stable debut at Cork with a 12lb rise. A fascinating runner from a thriving yard.
  5. Bells On Her Toes (IRE): Not sure if she has the pace for this race, but showed improvement when narrowly denied at Roscommon. Faces a tougher challenge here.
  6. Karaoke (IRE): Won an AW fillies’ maiden at 2. Good runs until a flop at Listowel. Blinkers may revive her chances. Trained by a top yard.
  7. Arthurs Victory (IRE): Won over 1m on AW in January. Stayed well over 1m1f in the latest race. Stiff finish here is a concern. Watching brief.
  8. Little Queenie (IRE): Can be keen and the stiff finish here raises concerns. Unlikely to win, but should give a good effort back in trip.

Based on this analysis, the best pick based on ratings and comments would be Coumshingaun (IRE). Coumshingaun is in cracking form, coming off a deserved win at the Curragh. Although the potential uneasiness at the gates is a concern, the runner has a good chance of leading and winning the race. Talia (IRE) is also a fascinating runner with a promising stable debut win, carrying a 12lb rise. Sioux Spirit (IRE) could also be a strong contender after back-to-form performance over C&D.

4.30 Naas (6 runners)
Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden
7f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

  1. Mariner (IRE) – 356.5
  2. Parish Record (IRE) – 260.2
  3. Henry Adams (IRE) – 204.1
  4. Versatile (IRE) – 146.3
  5. Shihoku (FR) – 118.4
  6. Grand City Hall (IRE) – 50.6

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

  1. Mariner (IRE): Made favourite on debut at Gowran but didn’t perform well, possibly due to spreading a plate and fading after leading for a significant portion of the race. Bred to handle the distance and could be given another chance.
  2. Parish Record (IRE): Has shown modest form in previous maidens. Unlikely to challenge the colts in this race.
  3. Henry Adams (IRE): No Nay Never colt and a sibling of a maiden sister to a 1m 2yo Group 2 winner. Comes from a respected family, but no strong expectations.
  4. Versatile (IRE): Siyouni colt, the first foal of an unraced half-sister to Dewhurst winner Intense Focus. Finished fourth in a Naas barrier trial and holds a National Stakes entry. Considered to have some potential.
  5. Shihoku (FR): Seabhac colt with a decent pedigree, being a half-brother to multiple winners. Respected source, and market strength could be significant.
  6. Grand City Hall (IRE): Son of first-season sire The Irish Rover, the first foal of a 7f winner. No notable expectations for the debut run.

Based on this analysis, the best pick based on ratings and comments would be Mariner (IRE). Despite a disappointing debut, Mariner’s breeding suggests an ability to handle the distance, and the previous issues encountered may have affected the performance. Versatile (IRE) is also worth considering, as a Siyouni colt with a notable pedigree and a National Stakes entry. Shihoku (FR) could be a contender based on the market strength and a respected source.

5.05 Naas (6 runners)
TRM Supplements – Power Your Performance Race
7f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

  1. Vernet (IRE) – 573.4
  2. Red Letter Bray (IRE) – 514.2
  3. Pandora Lovegood (IRE) – 502.4
  4. Winemaker (FR) – 420.9
  5. Clever And Cool (IRE) – 420.8
  6. Go Sioux Me (IRE) – 290.6

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

  1. Vernet (IRE): Won a 2yo maiden at the Curragh and followed it up with a win in a four-runner conditions event at Fairyhouse over this trip. Showed the ability to lead and win comfortably. Should be tough to beat if able to dominate in a similar manner.
  2. Red Letter Bray (IRE): Started the season well with two wins over 6f in testing conditions at Naas. Was not as effective on quicker ground over this trip in a Curragh handicap. Returns from a short break and needs to prove effectiveness in these conditions.
  3. Pandora Lovegood (IRE): A soft-ground winner of a Roscommon maiden and a Galway nursery over this trip last summer. Didn’t perform well in a Group 3 race when too keen. Making a belated seasonal return and would require plenty of rain.
  4. Winemaker (FR): Surprised as a 100-1 winner on debut at Naas last summer and added another win on seasonal return in a Listowel handicap over this trip. Showed signs of being too keen and not staying over 1m at Naas recently. Faces a stiff task at these weights.
  5. Clever And Cool (IRE): A maiden winner at Cork last year and has been set challenging tasks in search of black type. Put in good efforts this season at Cork and the Curragh on soft/heavy ground. Below par on quicker ground at Naas last time. Would have a major chance on best form, especially if starting well.
  6. Go Sioux Me (IRE): Ignored in the market on debut at Naas, but shaped well by keeping on late over 1m. May need more experience to be of significant interest.

Based on this analysis, the best pick based on ratings and comments would be Vernet (IRE). With a high rating and a recent win against older horses, Vernet has shown the ability to dominate races and should be tough to beat if able to do so again. Clever And Cool (IRE) also deserves consideration based on her previous form and potential, as well as the likelihood of a level break in this race.

  1. Sapristi (IRE) – 345.7
  2. Givemefive (IRE) – 345.3
  3. Katonah (IRE) – 343.6
  4. Get Set Jet – 296.1
  5. Lilac Lady (IRE) – 291.8
  6. Kirkuila (IRE) – 290.7
  7. Water Mint (IRE) – 272.9
  8. Ano Manna (IRE) – 268.2
  9. Lucky Question – 261.5
  10. Hialeah (IRE) – 256.8
  11. Silkies Sib (IRE) – 252.3
  12. Slaney Tide (IRE) – 239.4
  13. Where R U Now Bob (IRE) – 235.9
  14. Tds Approach (IRE) – 231.4
  15. Miss Langmore (IRE) – 230.1
  16. Tasmanian Girl (IRE) – 224.1
  17. Game Eagle (IRE) – 196.4
  18. Chica Linda (IRE) – 191.2
  19. Ahsuruknowurself (IRE) – 171.3

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

  1. Sapristi (IRE): Struggled in handicaps before winning a claimer at Fairyhouse over this trip. Showed improvement on better ground. Up 5lb but can keep progressing.
  2. Givemefive (IRE): Finished third over a slightly shorter trip at Gowran with top weight. Blinkers replace the visor worn in that run. Promising performance.
  3. Katonah (IRE): Stayed on late over 1m on handicap debut, indicating that this step up in trip would suit. Potential improver.
  4. Get Set Jet: Eye-catching third on handicap debut at Leopardstown, coming from off the pace. Longer trip should suit.
  5. Lilac Lady (IRE): Encouraging handicap debut at Roscommon with blinkers tried. Room for improvement despite being 3lb out of the handicap.
  6. Kirkuila (IRE): A backward step in the latest run at Gowran. Opening mark looks on the high side.
  7. Water Mint (IRE): Decent efforts off a basement mark, finishing second at Gowran and Limerick. Holds leading contender status.
  8. Ano Manna (IRE): Never involved on handicap debut at Leopardstown. Steps up in trip with limited appeal.
  9. Lucky Question: Encouraging handicap debut at Gowran closely matched with Hialeah and Givemefive. Potential for more.
  10. Hialeah (IRE): Promising return with a close second, but didn’t stay the 1m4f at Limerick. Return to this trip should suit.
  11. Silkies Sib (IRE): Yet to convince in handicaps and has a fair bit to find with some of the rivals based on recent efforts.
  12. Slaney Tide (IRE): Standout run this year was a narrow defeat at Tipperary. Poor runs since raise questions.
  13. Where R U Now Bob (IRE): Failed to stay over this trip at Gowran. Bit to prove now.
  14. Tds Approach (IRE): Lightly raced and unexposed entering handicap company, but the opening mark is not appealing.
  15. Miss Langmore (IRE): No improvement on yard debut at Ballinrobe. Opposable.
  16. Tasmanian Girl (IRE): Regressed at two, but encouraging comeback run at Limerick. Step up in trip could suit.
  17. Game Eagle (IRE): Down 7lb from the initial handicap mark. Visor now tried, but best watched.
  18. Chica Linda (IRE): Finished last on all three maiden outings. Hard to support on handicap debut for a new yard.
  19. Ahsuruknowurself (IRE): Revealed little in three maiden runs and handicap debut. Fitted with headgear but remains unconvincing.

Based on this analysis, the best pick based on ratings and comments would be Sapristi (IRE). Despite struggling in handicaps before, the recent win in a claimer shows improvement, and the better ground may have played a role. Givemefive (IRE) and Katonah (IRE) also show promise and potential for improvement, making them strong contenders in the race.
