Rachael Blackmore will be in Tramore on Sunday for a trio of chances on a competitive looking card, and here she speaks about all three...
-
Lightly-raced Groovykindoflove can improve
-
Gua Da Large in good form and will like the ground
-
Groovykindoflove finished second behind Staffordshire Knot in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal in January. She was well beaten by the winner, but he ran really well at Aintree, he finished second to Brighterdaysahead in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle.
She has been in good form at home since, she has schooled well, she is doing well. She was running for just the second time that day at Down Royal, so we hope that she can improve on that, and we're hoping for another good run.
Gateau De Miel was very disappointing at Down Royal the last time he ran. He ran no race at all, it just wasn't his running.
He has had a nice break since then, that was back in November, he seems to be freshened up now and in good form at home. Any drying of the ground will suit him, and I think that he will like it around Tramore. We know that he's a lot better than he was able to show the last day, and we hope that he can get back on track now.
Gua Du Large was travelling well at Fairyhouse the last day when he came down at the fifth last fence. We don't know how he would have done, it was too far out, but he was going well at the time, he was just starting to move up.
He seems to be none the worse for that, and he has schooled well since, so we're hoping that he will go well. He will appreciate the ground and he goes into the race in good form.
