16:00 – Clonmel Racecourse Supporters Club Fillies & Mares Maiden
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary maiden on paper, but not an impossible one to solve. Shanala brings the most obvious upside after a solid sequence of runs and it is no surprise she heads the market for the Murtagh yard. Noble Honour sets the standard on exposed form and has already shown she can be competitive in similar races, though she is becoming a little expensive to follow. Emily Estherfaye is interesting on figures after posting the highest rating in the field, but her form line still leaves a question to answer after a modest latest run. Estrallita and Essential Comedy have bits and pieces of form without screaming winner, while the remainder need to find plenty. In short, the favourite is the one to beat, but there is room for an each-way angle.
Top Selections
1. Shanala – 11/8 with Betfair
Jockey: Ben Coen | Trainer: J P Murtagh | Form: 543 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 53
Shanala has done little wrong in three starts and looks the most likely winner if taking the expected step forward again. That latest third suggested this longer trip should suit, and in a race lacking depth she makes plenty of appeal as the unexposed filly in the line-up. Murtagh knows the type required for these middle-distance maidens and Ben Coen is an eye-catching booking on a filly who should get a sensible ride from a wide draw. At 11/8 she is hardly missed, but she still sets the standard for potential rather than just bare exposed form. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Noble Honour – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 2-326 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 71
Noble Honour is the solid each-way play because she has already shown enough to be involved again, even if she lacks the mystery of the favourite. The form figures tell the story of a filly who keeps knocking on the door, and her rating of 88 puts her right in the argument in this company. The slight concern is that she had her chance on a few occasions now, but this doesn’t look a deep maiden and Shane Foley should have her in the right place throughout. At 7/2 she appeals as the percentage option for punters wanting some cover against the jolly. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Shanala is the win play because she still has more progress in her than most of these and this looks a suitable opening. Noble Honour is the each-way alternative in an eight-runner field, as her consistent profile should see her bang there again. Emily Estherfaye is the obvious danger if bouncing back, but the market leaders look the pair to concentrate on.

16:35 – Slievenamon Maiden
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks a fairly tight little maiden on paper rather than a deep one, with the market understandably centred on Therewillbeglory and Kakori. Both have the best established form in the field, both are rated 90, and both arrive with recent placed efforts that give this a solid shape. Therewillbeglory brings the best Topspeed figure and has been knocking on the door, while Kakori has been running consistently in stronger company and is entitled to be thereabouts again. Blue Nasturtium is the one who could still have a bit more to offer after only two starts, and Ready To Mingle is not dismissed after a break. The rest need a major step forward, so this feels more about whether the obvious pair deliver than a proper puzzle.
Top Selections
1. Therewillbeglory – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Andrew Slattery | Trainer: Andrew Slattery | Form: 24-302 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 75
He sets the standard on what we’ve seen. The recent form figures are rock-solid for a race like this, and that latest second suggests his turn is coming if he reproduces the effort. A mark of 90 and a Topspeed of 75 are the standout numbers in the field, and he doesn’t look the sort to throw in many bad ones. Andrew Slattery knows exactly what he has here and, in a maiden lacking depth beyond the front few in the betting, Therewillbeglory is hard to oppose. At 7/4, you’re not stealing a price, but he makes plenty of appeal as the most likely winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Blue Nasturtium – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: K J Condon | Form: 45 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 52
For an each-way angle, Blue Nasturtium makes more appeal than simply siding with the second favourite in a seven-runner race. She has only had two runs, shaped with promise on both occasions, and her rating of 83 says she is already capable of being competitive in a maiden of this standard. W J Lee is an eye-catching booking around here and K J Condon’s runners often progress with experience, so another step forward over this 1m1f wouldn’t surprise at all. At 3/1 she isn’t huge, but with only a handful making serious appeal she looks the most solid each-way punt to hit the frame. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Therewillbeglory is the win play because he brings the strongest, most reliable form and the best speed figure. For those wanting a little insurance, Blue Nasturtium is the each-way option given her scope for improvement and relatively solid profile. Kakori is the obvious danger and probably the one most likely to make the favourite work.

17:05 – Suir Blueway Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks the usual sort of late-season three-year-old handicap at Clonmel: competitive on paper, but not especially deep, and there should be chances for something still a little ahead of the assessor. Concaire and Mare Crisium head the market for good reason, with both bringing bits of handicap form that put them right in the mix, while Arizona Star is interesting lower down the weights after shaping as though this sort of trip is workable. Cadreville is another with a feather weight and enough recent form to get involved. Plenty of these have had their chances and arrive with patchy profiles, so I would not call it a strong race. It looks more a matter of siding with the runners who still have a bit of upside rather than the exposed types.
Top Selections
1. Concaire – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: Richard John O’Brien | Form: 086274 | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 43
Concaire makes plenty of appeal from stall 1 and looks the percentage call in a race where not many arrive with bombproof credentials. That recent second and fourth suggest he is getting the hang of handicapping, and an official mark of 61 still looks workable in this company. W J Lee is a notable booking in a race lacking standout quality, and a handy draw around here rarely hurts if you can hold a position. He does not have masses in hand on the figures, but unlike plenty of these he is at least moving in the right direction. At 7/2, he looks a fair win play rather than a flashy one. Bet: WIN
2. Arizona Star – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Terry Casey | Trainer: Michael Mulvany | Form: 306385 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 58
Arizona Star looks the each-way value in the field. The form figures are a little uneven, but there have been enough respectable efforts mixed in to think this mark of 60 is not beyond him, and his Topspeed of 58 is one of the more interesting numbers on offer here. He gets in with just 125 and that can be a real asset in a race where a few of the principals are not exactly thrown in. Mulvany’s runner has shown enough pace and resilience to think he can travel into this and keep finding, especially if the race turns tactical rather than brutal. At 13/2, he makes plenty of appeal as an each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Concaire is the solid win choice given his recent handicap efforts and good draw. Arizona Star is the more interesting each-way alternative off a light weight and with one of the better Topspeed figures in the line-up. Mare Crisium is the obvious danger if coping with the wide draw, while Cadreville also has enough in his favour to get involved at the business end.

17:35 – Camida Gold Champion Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This is a properly competitive 10-runner handicap rather than a race full of obvious angles, and the market looks about right in flagging up the progressive three-year-olds. Femme Beauty arrives seeking a hat-trick after two wins in her last three starts, while A Pretty Penny has also been knocking out solid handicap efforts and gets in here with a very handy weight. Lough Leane is the proven recent winner among the older brigade and clearly comes here in form, but he may not have much in hand off 81 now. Quatre Bras has the class figures to be involved if putting it all together, and Areana is another with enough ability to matter. It feels like a race likely decided by who improves again rather than who merely reproduces old form, so I’m siding with youth over exposed older handicappers.
Top Selections
1. Femme Beauty – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Patrick McGettigan | Trainer: Gerard O’Leary | Form: 414311 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 71
She makes plenty of appeal in a race where recent momentum counts for a lot. Those form figures tell a straightforward story: this filly is thriving, and her latest win suggested she is still progressing rather than clinging on to a mark. An opening rating of 82 does ask a stiffer question in better company, but three-year-olds at this time of year can take a sharp step forward and she gets in here with just 128. Gerard O’Leary’s runner looks the type to travel strongly over this trip, and 9/2 is fair enough in a contest lacking a standout older horse. She’s the one I’d want onside for win purposes.
Bet: WIN
2. A Pretty Penny – 9/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Shay Wallace | Trainer: Mrs Deborah Cody | Form: 515421 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 74
There is a lot to like about this filly as an each-way play, chiefly the combination of current form and a feather weight of 120. She comes here off a win, has been admirably consistent in handicaps, and her Topspeed of 74 stacks up very well in this field. That suggests she has the raw pace to cope if this turns tactical before lifting late. Mrs Deborah Cody’s runner doesn’t have much to find with the principals on the figures and, in a race where several of the older horses look fully exposed, she makes obvious appeal at 9/2. If the improvement curve continues, she could easily make the frame and possibly better.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Femme Beauty is the win bet because she looks the likeliest improver in the field and arrives with the right profile for a race like this. A Pretty Penny is the each-way option thanks to her low weight, reliable recent form and strong Topspeed figure. The obvious dangers are Lough Leane, who is hard to dismiss after his latest success, and Quatre Bras, who has the ability to get involved if delivering his best.

18:10 – Camida Winning Solution Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks a proper low-grade handicap puzzle rather than a race packed with certainty, but there are still a few solid form lines to lean on. Reponse Finale arrives in the best nick after a win and two runner-up efforts before another respectable fourth, while Medieval Night keeps knocking on the door and brings one of the stronger topspeed figures in the field. Chou Chou is interesting at the weights after shaping better of late and Alto Sax has become dangerously well treated if everything falls right. Plenty of these are badly out of sorts, including Guy’s Girl and Ardeur despite the latter showing a flicker last time, so recent reliability may count for plenty. In a 14-runner handicap around Clonmel, track position and a bit of tactical luck will matter, but this is still a race where current wellbeing should decide it.
Top Selections
1. Reponse Finale – 3/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Robert Whearty | Trainer: Gavin Cromwell | Form: 841214 | Rating: 59 | Topspeed: 47
Reponse Finale is the one with the most persuasive recent profile in the line-up. That sequence of 841214 tells its own story: she has found her level, won recently and backed it up with two more very solid runs. A mark of 59 still looks workable given how consistently she has been competing, and Cromwell’s runners in this sort of ordinary handicap are rarely here to make up the numbers. She doesn’t have the standout topspeed figure, but she does have the strongest current habit of finishing her race off. At 3/1 she is not being missed, but she still makes plenty of appeal as the percentage call in a race full of dodgy alternatives. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Alto Sax – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Reese Holohan | Trainer: Peter Fahey | Form: 925926 | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 60
Alto Sax is not the easiest horse to catch right, but he has been running well enough in defeat to make 6/1 look fair for each-way players. That string of placed efforts mixed with a latest sixth suggests he is holding form better than the bare finishing positions might imply, and his topspeed mark of 60 is actually the best on offer here. He is also lurking on a mark of 61, which gives him every chance if this race is run to suit. Fahey’s runner is the sort who can travel nicely in these contests and, in a field of 14 with four places on offer, he looks the value alternative to the obvious principals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Reponse Finale is the win play because she brings the cleanest, most dependable recent form and looks hard to oppose in a weak handicap. Alto Sax is the each-way angle at 6/1, with his rating and topspeed figures giving him a serious chance of hitting the frame. The main dangers are Medieval Night, who is knocking loudly, and Chou Chou, who could easily outrun market expectations.

18:43 – Jerry McDonnell Memorial Tipperary Perpetual Cup Handicap
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This is a likeable staying handicap with a few familiar dual-purpose names in the mix and it looks no gimme. Zoffman arrives in good enough heart and has the class edge on figures, while Lady Plimsoll has been knocking hard on the door and gets in off a very workable weight. Zanahiyr is the fascinating one after an encouraging return, and Highwind is another from a powerhouse yard who should stay well and handle conditions. At the other end, older legs like Teed Up and Filey Bay need to prove they still retain enough spark. Over 2m around Clonmel on good to yielding ground, tactical pace and a willing attitude late on will matter plenty. It is a competitive race rather than a deep one, and the weights could be decisive.
Top Selections
1. Zoffman – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Nicola Burns | Trainer: Noel Meade | Form: 680302 | Rating: 98 | Topspeed: 78
Zoffman makes plenty of appeal at the foot of the weights despite carrying the highest rating in the field. That recent second suggests he is coming to the boil at the right time, and his current mark of 98 does not look beyond him in a race of this nature. Noel Meade’s runner has enough back class to make his presence felt in a contest lacking an obvious standout, and a low draw is no bad thing if this turns tactical. At 7/2 with Bet365, he is hardly hidden, but he still looks the solid option against rivals with more questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Lady Plimsoll – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Reese Holohan | Trainer: M D O’Callaghan | Form: 2-3322 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 74
Lady Plimsoll is the obvious each-way play because she keeps running her race and does not look harshly treated off 95 with just 121lb on her back. Those successive placed efforts tell you she is in excellent nick, and as a 4yo she still has a bit more scope than some of these exposed stayers. She has been threatening to nick one of these handicaps and this does not look any stronger than the races in which she has been going close. Available at 5/1 with four places on offer, she makes plenty of sense as an each-way punt and would be no surprise winner if things fall right. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Zoffman is the percentage call for the win bet: he is well treated on the balance of his recent form and should get a good trip into the race. Lady Plimsoll is the each-way angle with her consistency and feather weight making her very easy to like. The main dangers are Zanahiyr, who is entitled to come on for his comeback, and Highwind from the Mullins yard.

19:13 – John Thomas McNamara Series (Q.R.) Handicap
Race Details: 2m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING | | flat
This looks a modest enough amateur riders’ handicap on paper, but there is at least one runner bringing solid recent winning form into it. Gallo Dell Cielo stands out immediately on the figures and on the bare form, having won twice in his last three starts and looking the obvious one to beat despite shouldering top billing in the market. Miss Gitana is hardly straightforward but her recent second and third suggest she is at least knocking on the door in this grade. Rich Belief has become hard to trust, while Peace Walk and Piatra Neamt are the sort who could outrun bigger prices if the race turns tactical. In truth, this is not a deep contest, and that usually makes current momentum and resolution at the finish the key ingredients.
Top Selections
1. Gallo Dell Cielo – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr D Doyle | Trainer: Patrick J Flynn | Form: 71-151 | Rating: 45 | Topspeed: 25
He is the one arriving here with the right profile for a race of this nature. Two wins from his last three starts, including that latest success, make him the only runner in the field with obviously progressive recent form, and a mark of 45 still looks workable in this company. Patrick J Flynn is doubly represented, but this is the stable’s clear first string on what we’ve seen lately. The draw in 4 is perfectly fine and his Topspeed figure stacks up well enough against these exposed rivals. At 9/4 he is not missed by the market, but he is still hard to oppose in a race lacking much depth. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Miss Gitana – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr J R Martin | Trainer: Joseph Anthony Murray | Form: 980320 | Rating: 38 | Topspeed: 10
She would not be one for maximum faith, but there is enough in her recent figures to make her interesting from an each-way angle in an eight-runner race. That sequence of 3-2 before a lesser effort last time reads well enough against these, and a rating of 38 leaves her with a bit to find on official figures, though not an impossible amount in this grade. From stall 8 she may need things to drop right, but if Mr J R Martin can get her settled and produced late, she has the look of one who can pick off weaker stayers. Available at 9/2, she makes more appeal as a place play than a win banker. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Gallo Dell Cielo is the win bet and looks the most solid option in a race short on dependable recent form. For those playing each-way, Miss Gitana is the sensible alternative given her recent placed efforts. Rich Belief is an obvious danger if reviving, while Peace Walk is not completely dismissed at a price.
