First off the block in our preview is 'Shadows Of My Mind', a 5-year-old whose running at Sligo in the 'Race 7 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares' at 21:05. Trained by the ubiquitous W P Mullins and ridden by Mr P W Mullins, she's sitting on a short live price of 2.38, hinting that she's much fancied here. Although recent form data for this mare don't shed much light, team Mullins usually means a potent mix, and they've been particularly sharp over the last half a year. This combo has notched up a smooth 38% strike rate over past 2 months – something that can't be easily ignored! Next up, Run For The Border, also a 5-year-old mare, will try her luck under Mr D McGill for trainer J P Ryan. She's managed to draw a long price of 13, suggesting her chances might be slimmer in this field. Over the past month, she's had a taste of the racetrack but hasn't managed to cross the wire first yet. Training and jockey stats aren't exactly boosting confidence either, with the jockey struggling to hit the mark in most of his recent races. Then we've Barra Rua, another participant not to be overlooked lightly. Teamed up with Mr J L Gleeson and coached by E Mullins, she stands at an offering price of 5. Although her recent form does not scream high chance of winning, the combination's past engagements bring some hope. However, echoing a slightly above average strike rate, the betting circles might still see her as an outsider. While 'Shadows Of My Mind' holds the enviable position according to our model, it’s racing and anything can happen! Trust in the luck of the Irish, have a flutter if you're feeling adventurous, and remember to bet responsibly, mates!
