TrackLab Insight
Won at Leopardstown just 8 days ago and has a rare 67% win rate at that track—genuine course specialist who shouldn't be overlooked. However, Cork is a right-handed galloping track, and Launch Time has never won on such a layout, which is a serious concern for this tight mile.

TrackLab Insight
Only two years old carrying the lowest weight in the field, making this an ambitious entry for such a young, lightly raced horse. Zero wins from three runs with just one place suggests she's still learning her trade at a much lower grade.

Has the standout 1-win ratio at this exact distance (1 from 3) and has been placed in his last two races—most recently third just 20 days ago at Gowran Park. Yet he has never won on good ground, which is the exact condition we face.

TrackLab Insight
Won at Dundalk back in January and was placed in 2 of his last 3 races there, but hasn't run in 147 days—a major concern. At five years old with just one win from 18 races, and a zero record on good ground, the long absence is a real question mark.

Editorial favourite with the highest rating in the field and backed at 9.4—this three-year-old is the one to beat on paper. Yet she has no wins on good ground from four attempts, and her last three runs read 9-4-8, suggesting inconsistency at the wrong time.

TrackLab Insight
Lowest-rated horse in the field but with a solid 13% win rate across 47 races (6 wins), and the three most recent runs are placed efforts. This eight-year-old is a genuine competitor at the level, yet has no wins on yielding ground and struggles on right-handed tracks like Cork.

TrackLab Insight
The only course winner in the field with 1 win from 3 races at Cork—that victory came in September 2024, giving her a genuine edge here. However, she's been placed just twice in 27 career races and hasn't won on standard ground from 12 attempts, so recent form and conditions both work against her.

Just three career races with nothing to show for it, including a dead-last finish three weeks ago at Fairyhouse. This five-year-old is dangerously inexperienced at this level and the form tells a bleak story.

Returns from a staggering 291-day absence after finishing 12th at Galway—the longest break in the field by a considerable margin. Zero wins from 8 races and no placing to his name makes this a tricky proposition, even at odds-on.

TrackLab Insight
Same rating as Glamazon but at longer odds (18.0), this three-year-old has never won on good ground from six attempts. Her sole victory came in June; recent form shows three places from five runs, but the ground concerns are real.

TrackLab Insight
Zero wins from 9 races with just four places to show—never broken through in the winner's circle. However, she was second at Fairyhouse just 37 days ago and ran at Cork just 21 days ago, so she knows the track and is race-fit.

Most experienced runner in the field with 60 career races but has never won on good ground from 19 attempts. This eight-year-old is reliable rather than brilliant, yet recent form reads 14-6-14 suggesting he's struggling to find his feet.

TrackLab Insight
Sits just one pound behind the favourite on the ratings but has never won on good ground—and that's what we have here. His two career wins both came at Dundalk on standard going; this is unfamiliar territory for a horse whose last run was a 10th-place finish.

Lightly raced three-year-old with three runs and no placings, finishing eighth twice and tenth most recently. These are heavy defeats and show this horse is still searching for basic competence at this level.

Eight-year-old with 29 races behind him and just one win back in August 2023—essentially a professional plodder at the bottom end. Never won on standard ground from 10 attempts, which rules him out on today's conditions.

TrackLab Insight
Market favourite at 5.0 after breaking her duck at Gowran Park just 2 days ago—back for a quick return with minimal recovery time. She has a 12% win rate at 1m1f-1m2f but has never won on good ground from five attempts, and this mile on good turf is not ideal for a horse that needs a longer trip.

How do odds work? The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
