Clonmel 4:35 Result

This is a weak maiden with few proven form horses, and Kakori stands out as the one with the clearest, most consistent recent form: 096324 shows steady improvement and a recent placed effort (2nd, 3rd) just 6 days ago, suggesting she's fit, in form and fully tuned up. She carries the highest quoted OR (73) of the group, has the benefit of a top yard (Joseph Patrick O'Brien) and a strong jockey booking in Declan McDonogh. The tongue-tie could be aiding concentration given the improved recent placings. Blue Nasturtium (45) and Therewillbeglory (24-302) are the closest form rivals - Therewillbeglory also has a recent run and solid placed profile, but Kakori's rating and connections give her the edge, and quick back-up runners (6 days) after a solid effort often go well fitness-wise. The rest of the field is unproven (no form, single-run maidens) or held big weight/draw question marks. Draw 6 is workable over 1m2f - pace will unfold and closers like Kakori with proven placing ability should be suited. She looks the most solid, rounded contender in a race lacking depth, and represents a fair market price for a professional yard's well-progressing filly.
