10/1

Smart gelding. 13/2, 5 lengths fourth of 7 to Two Stars in listed race at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Vulnerable kept to this trip.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J A Heffernan| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 97| D

Fairly useful filly. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 22/1, 12½ lengths eleventh of 12 to First Instinct in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Difficult ask.

Forecasts

Bucanero Fuerte (13/8), Magnum Force (9/4), Powerful Nation (3/1), Big Gossey (10/1), Gutsy Girl (20/1), Ostraka (33/1), Saratoga Special (50/1)

BUCANERO FUERTE was kept to the highest level after making a winning return in the Lacken on this card last season and shades the vote over Magnum Force, who has a 5 lb penalty for his win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar.
