Race Tip

HARPY EAGLE (4) won well at Wexford last time out scoring by 3L. That was significant improvement in his form and finding a good opportunity may go back to back. Rates highly. IN FOR THE NIGHT (1) ended a long losing streak gaining a 5. 5L success attempting a Kilbeggan handicap end of July. Harshly treated by the assessor for that victory so will now need a personal best. IN THE MINUS (2) managed to win nicely over course and distance here two weeks ago. Cannot be dismissed. DROMBANE (3) remains a maiden after six attempts. Needs to leave latest performance at Galway well behind. Market confidence would be important.
