Verdict

EURO MAKER is given a chance to build on his improved second at Cork last time. The hat-trick seeking Bella Union rates an obvious danger. Recent C&D second Deise Crystal is also likely to have a say, while a market move for Redcliff Glen would bring him firmly into the reckoning.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Firm

A dry turf course, equal to a ‘fast’ dirt track.

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.
