18:34 Fairyhouse — Dino Day 8th July Handicap model predictions

Polar Bear (IRE)

0%

Three years since last win; running well this term but slow starts are killing him; wide draw not bad thing in that respect, because he can run home down the outer.

Verhoyen

0%

Coming towards the end of a fine career and might have a last win in him from declining mark; goes well here; didn't ping the lids as he usually does when sixth here last week, but not far behind a couple of these rivals; break will be crucial.

I'm Spartacus (IRE)

0%

All six wins on AW, 0-23 on turf but second here in 2024; from similar draw, had to weave his way through from fair bit back to be fourth here last week; dropped 3lb but will need the breaks.

Oitentinha (IRE)

0%

Had okay maiden form for Danny McLoughlin and beaten 7l in 7f AW nursery; that was back in December 2024 and not seen since; tongue-tie on and she's stuck out wide.

Sovereign Banter (IRE)

0%

Consistent over 6f on AW over the winter and into April; gelded and has had a break; twice runner-up on turf last year, but nasty draw here.

Platino Bianco (IRE)

0%

Money for AW winner when she was fitted with first-time visor at Navan last month, but only ran okay when sixth of 17; another one whose mark is dropping rapidly.

Subiaco (IRE)

0%

Has early speed and won on AW over 5f on handicap debut; good run next time but last of all latest two starts.

Jampa Ling (IRE)

0%

Was awarded AW maiden in February after winner was disqualified on a technicality; held in handicaps since and blinkers didn't work in 3yo contest over C&D last week; coming down the ratings quickly.

Sunday Sovereign (GB)

0%

Last win was in 2023; prominent racer ran well first time out last year when third over 7.5f at Roscommon; also third over same C&D in October.

Whatswrongnow (IRE)

0%

Long-standing maiden but definitely has one in him; had a clear run at things when second over C&D last week; slightly wider now but has enough early speed to get a position; cheekpieces tried for just second time.

Luminessa (IRE)

0%

Just fair AW form, beaten 7l in 5f handicap which has worked out okay on latest outing in April; worst of the draw.

Unfamiliar (IRE)

0%

Only beaten 5l in higher grade on handicap debut at Naas; 9-2 next time when weakened over 7f at Gowran and no better back there latest; hooded all starts, goes without here; drop back to 6f might help and not one to give up on.

Reponse Finale (IRE)

0%

Maiden's best run was when third over 6f at Cork in September, when just behind Sovereign Banter; blew the start from wide draw here last week, late headway up the rail but never threatened; low draw might be more of a hindrance if she does that again.

Skillman Ave (IRE)

0%

Winner over 5f and second over 6f last summer for Gavin Cromwell; yet to place for current yard and mark in freefall; wide draw too.

Andosky (IRE)

0%

Second on handicap debut last year but nothing since; has come down 14lb after four unplaced efforts this term.

Glen Breeze (IRE)

0%

Ran okay against her elders at Bellewstown on handicap debut over 5f; money for her last twice but to no reward, too free in blinkers latest; Hayes up and she's capable of better from trap one.

Mini Cotai (IRE)

0%

Placed once in five AW handicap starts; ran well when fourth at Cork (5f, soft) when less than a length off runner-up Whatswrongnow; 7-1 at Down Royal a week ago (5f, good), never got involved.

Livingston Range (IRE)

0%

First reserve; nearly three years since latest of two wins; ran well on return at Navan and was second over C&D around this time last year.

Bel Espoir (IRE)

0%

Second reserve; six-race maiden; bit better the last twice but still beaten 8l both times.

Monastere (GB)

0%

Third reserve; nothing but duck eggs so far and was last of 16 on recent return over 1m.
