Preparations heads this ten-runner field at Tramore over twelve furlongs on good ground, rated narrowly ahead of Limestone Red, who represents the most immediate threat and will need to be watched closely throughout, with Tassarolo and Duleek Street also capable of getting involved if the principals disappoint. Confidence is modest given the modest gap at the head of the ratings, and Limestone Red in particular could well turn the tables on a different day. On balance, the edge in the ratings and whatever recent form Preparations brings to the table makes a case for siding with them, and the selection is Preparations.
