Tramore — 15 August 2026

1m4f0y · Good · 6 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Sea Of The Celts (6/5)

Won by: U S Navy Spearhead (IRE) at 18/1 · then Mawhibah (QA)

What we said: Sea Of The Celts sits on top with no form to actually read, just quiet market confidence and a sire whose stated soft-ground strength doesn't line up with today's good surface, while Mawhibah and Phlox both arrive on modest efforts (4th of 9 and 6th of 9 last time) that don't scream forward improvement; there's no name here I can build a genuine case for at the price on offer.

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Glittering Gem (5/1)

Won by: Davy Crockett (IRE) at 2/1 · then Solness (FR), Kaleo Ametsa (FR)

What we said: Comes into this dropping back onto quicker ground after a clear-cut second on yielding, and both the Frankel and Kingman lines in her pedigree are noted to relish good or faster surfaces, which today's ground provides. She's the only runner in this maiden with genuine improving form figures (70-32) and a rated mark, trained by a yard that knows how to place fillies like her, and the step up to 12f looks a natural progression rather than a stretch.

1m4f0y · Good · 8 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Maxminelli (11/4)

Won by: A Pretty Penny (IRE) at 9/2 · then Love Orchid (IRE), Sunrush (IRE)

What we said: Maxminelli, Sunrush and Rodeo Blues are bunched together on ability and market price alike, each showing solid but unremarkable recent form (4-7232, 74-65 with a lay-off caution, and 046115 with a recent dip to 5th), and nothing in the card separates them enough to build a case for one over the others at these odds. Sunrush carries the 60-119 day lay-off caution after 72 days off, while Rodeo Blues' latest run was a step back after two wins, leaving Maxminelli the tidiest profile but not clearly superior once the numbers are weighed.

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Stepdance (3/1)

Won by: Preparations (IRE) at 4/1 · then Nathema (GB), Limestone Red (IRE)

What we said: Three wins on the bounce at today's 12f trip before a one-off dip to 9f last time (10th of 22), and now stepping straight back to the trip and track where it's been most effective, backed by a solid course record of two wins from three starts. De Bromhead's mare looks the one horse in this race with a genuine trip-and-track fit rather than just recent placings.

1m4f0y · Good · 7 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Churchwarden (10/3)

Won by: Rakki (GB) at 7/2 · then Daboya (IRE)

What we said: Rakki and Churchwarden both sit at the head of the market on raw ability but neither offers daylight over the other: Rakki steps back in trip after finishing 5th of 19 at 16.5f and carries a sire tag that actually wants softer ground than today's Good, while Churchwarden's improving 706-01 figures and course form are already fully reflected in his 10/3. Daboya's steamer looks like market noise on top of an eighth-placed last run, and nothing else in the seven runs down to Berto Ramirez stands out enough to build a case on.

2m0f0y · Good · 9 ran

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Delta (5/2)

Won by: Spasiba (FR) at 3/1 · then Miss Gitana (IRE), Zoffman (IRE)

What we said: Consistently in the frame at this trip range (62342 across five runs on this going) and comes into today off a solid second-place effort just 37 days ago, with a step up to two miles playing to a stamina-laden profile from this sire line. The market has him fairly assessed as the most reliable form horse in a moderate nine-runner field where several rivals carry question marks (a pulled-up run, first-time headgear, or scant recent form).

2m0f0y · Good · 14 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Bynx (9/2)

Won by: Gallo Dell Cielo (IRE) at 6/1 · then Fine Print (IRE), Fire Coral (GB)

What we said: the write-up made a claim the racecard does not support, so this pick was withheld
