Let's kick things off with Ta Se Rua, the grand old horse racing at Tramore in the 18:15 Race 3 Racing TV Free Month Trial Handicap Chase. This 12-year-old gelding, trained by P J Healy and ridden by S Fitzgerald, is a veteran of the field. He's entering the race at a long price of 11, hinting at a potential upset if everything lines up right. While he hasn't run any races in the last 30 days, his 180-day strike rate is notable with 2 races and a win at this course and distance. It seems like he's got a liking for Tramore, boasting a single win from two tries over the last 720 days. His minor win rate indicates he might pull off a surprise yet again under the right conditions. Next up, Greenway Machine, a slightly older contestant at 13, is worth a mention, although he doesn't match up to Ta Se Rua's course familiarity. Ms H P Markham trains him, with Reserve 1 listed as the jockey, and he’s sporting odds of 13, squarely in 'value' territory. In his last 720 days of racing, he's had a busy schedule with 18 races but only managed two wins. His course knowledge isn't quite impressive, which might put him at a disadvantage compared to our leading lad. Early Arrival at age 10 follows, aligned with K Callaghan in the saddle and under the guidance of J Barcoe. This gelding is pegged at odds of 12, which puts him neck and neck with Greenway Machine in the betting rings. His performance doesn’t dazzle on paper, with no course wins in the last 720-day span from 18 outings and just shadows two wins. He might have the stamina but will need a stroke of luck and strategic racing to really shine today. For an interesting note, keep an eye on Well Loved, tickling the betting slips at 5.5, making her the more favored in watcher's eyes but not the top pick in our list today. Given her more favorable odds and decent track appearances, it could be worth a dabble. As we sum it up, Ta Se Rua stands poised at the gates as the prime contender for today's race, given his affinity for the Tramore's air and soil. It wouldn't be a wild punt to place your hopes on him, throwing in a bit of veteran charm into the mix. Best of luck to all, and remember – a flutter should always be a fun flutter, so wager wisely!
