Butterflies on right flight path in Gowran
Tonkinese sees off short-priced favourite
He’s straightforward and you can let him bowl along. It was nice to find an opportunity like this and these races are good for horses that are not quite up to black-type level. A mile and a half was a bit too far the last day and I’d say a mile and a quarter is his ideal trip. He’s kept busy leading Portage at home and he does a good job of that.
Uninhibited much too good in Gowran
Masonbrook Lady could be a Galway girl
The blinds have done the trick, and Gary said she was a lot sharper with them on. The ground was a bit slow in Killarney the last day but she still ran a fair race. We’ve always thought a bit of her. She’s entered in Galway on Thursday and a penalty for that win may get her in.

Queen Alphabet rules in Gowran Park
She’s a grand mare. Things didn’t work out for her the last day at Killarney as it was a stop/start gallop. It’s unlikely that she will go to Galway, and there is a nice fillies handicap at Sligo the following week that would suit her. I’d love to go back over fences with her as I think she’s made for that game.
Enough Is Enough can't get enough in Gowran
She is doing us a great turn this year and is just flying at Gowran. She was in a bad position turning in but fought all the way to the line. Hopefully there is something for her here again this year.
