    Race Analysis

    The safest option by some distance is LOUGH NIGARA (1). Finished in the first three on all six outings this season and was a winner last time attempting a Thurles handicap by a nose. Keeps moving up the ratings but yet to show signs of stopping. KANOG BAY (11) won in smart fashion two starts back. Dropped out last time. If returning to form from earlier in the campaign is a must for the shortlist. BETTER TIMES (4) has shown ability this year since going hurdling. Likely to improve on seventh placed effort last start. Keep on side. MISS LIA (10) still appears to be on a handy rating. Can bounce back following a disappointment in latest.
