KERRY’S OAKS CONTENDERS

PLEASE MARRY ME

Breeding: Razor Ashmore/Chubbys Havana

Owner: Jimmy Sweeney, John Mulcahy and James Lavery from Tarbert

Trainer: John Mulcahy, Tipperary

Qualified: Dungarvan

Form: Appears to find improvement with every outing. Beaten semi-finalist at Abbeydorney and just failed at the final hurdle in Listowel next time out. She made it third time lucky with success at Dungarvan. Sure to go well.

Odds: 20/1

BRIDEWELL KIT

Breeding: Adios Alonso/Sonadora

Owner: Michael Quilter and Kieran Walsh, Lixnaw Trainer: John Moynihan, Tralee

Qualified: Ballyduff

Form: Beaten by the subsequent Corn Na Feile Oaks in the third round of her maiden at Castleisland. However she bounced back in the best possible fashion when scoring at Ballyduff. Possess a good turn of foot and demands respect. Will need to hit the ground running from the off having been pitted against the pacey Mad Decision in Rd 1. Odds: 25/1

GONE TO TOWN

Breeding: Adios Alonso/Rosie The Rascal

Owner: John Quilter, Listowel

Trainer: Gerard Cur tain, Listowel

Qualified: Listowel

Form: Impeccably bred. Knuckled down to the task with gusto to claim the Oaks ticket at her local meeting. A big outsider in the market, however I believe she’s a lot more advanced than her price suggests and could well cause some upsets.

Odds: 40/1

ANTONIO

Breeding: Adios Alonso/Dublinfourdasher

Owner: Tom Kearney/ Edward O’Sullivan, Abbeydorney Trainer: Edward O’Sullivan, Abbeydorney

Qualified: Clonakilty

Form: Unfortunate to run into eventual winners at both Castleisland and Abbeyfeale. Won next time out at Clonakilty and caught the eye with some impressive performances through the stake. Dam-line is proven at Powerstown and is not without a chance.

Odds: 25/1

GRACES BELLE

Breeding: Kyle Leigh/Floating Spirit

Owner: Eric O’Connor and Jack Reidy, Castleisland Trainer: Jack Reidy, Castleisland

Qualified: Doon

Form: Won at the third time of asking at Doon. Won her opening round of the Corn Na Feile but was withdrawn on Day 2. Improvement needed to feature but she won’t be found wanting for effor t.

Odds: 40/1

WISEGUY NORA

Breeding: Blueview Sam/Turning Pace

Owner: Paudie Lyons and Jeremy Lyons, Lixnaw

Trainer: Paudie Lyons, Lixnaw

Qualified: Freshford
