2.30 Cork: Collecting Coin
Best odds: 6-1.
Johnny Ward
Finished: 3rdSP: 9/4
Looks to be getting there this season following two decent runs in defeat, and if Chris Hayes can pounce late, I believe Collecting Coin can get off the mark for the season.
Dropping back to seven furlongs also looks ideal for a contender who seems to flatten out over a mile.
2.45 Sligo: Gegenpressing
Best odds: 4-1.
Johnny Ward
Finished: 1stSP: 4/1
Gegenpressing has won this race for the past two years, including when rated 4lb higher 12 months ago
He was also drawn much higher (stall 16 both times) on those occasions, and is drawn in stall 4 here.
The selection has already attracted some support, and what's not to like? I think he will complete the hat-trick in this race.
3.22 Sligo: You Make Me Smile
Best odds: 9-2.
Johnny Ward
Finished: 2ndSP: 10/3
Another contender who is seeking to win the same race they won last year on the card at Sligo on Sunday.
He has jockey Reese Holohan's assistance, and looks primed for a repeat bid after a fine run when third at Gowran Park in April.
