Battling Siki
Verdict
Battling Siki heads our figures for this competitive 10-furlong contest at Ballinrobe, narrowly ahead of Jr Mahon with Kashel Spring and Concert Party rated level just behind. It's a tightly bunched leading group on our figures, so the case for Battling Siki rests on a shade the highest rating of the four rather than daylight — Jr Mahon, Kashel Spring and Concert Party are all capable and cannot be dismissed as dangers. Minaun View and May Night, rated some way below the leaders, look to have more to find. Battling Siki is our selection with confidence high, the pick of a genuinely open finish.

Concert Party was a winner three starts back, and again four starts back, before finishing ninth last time out. She has run over today's trip and going before, and a useful rating keeps her right amongst the leading dangers despite that below-par finish.

Jr Mahon has been no better than fourth in five starts and remains winless in that sequence, but returns after a 38-day break having run over today's trip and going before. A rating well clear of his official mark of 63 makes him a leading danger.

A winner three starts back, and again five starts back, Kashel Spring was only fifth last time out but has run over today's trip and going before. Racing off a 77 official mark, the pair of recent wins make her a leading danger.

A winner last time out, and again two starts back, Minaun View followed that with an eighth three starts back in a mixed six-race sample. She has run over today's going before, and a rating of 67 keeps her right in this despite the inconsistency.

Comment
Macinamillion was a winner three starts back and third four starts back, but his last two starts before a 284-day absence both ended unplaced. He has run over today's going before, and a modest rating of 55 leaves questions fresh off such a lengthy break.
NR

Third last time out but that was 364 days ago, May Night is winless in this sequence which also featured two unplaced efforts. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating well clear of his 57 official mark hints at more back from a lengthy break.

Talking Tough0-6087▾Shane Foley · S M Duffy

Comment
Talking Tough has not finished better than sixth in his last five starts and remains winless throughout. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a strong speed figure offers a shred of encouragement, but on the placings alone he is hard to fancy.

Comment
She's Ideal was runner-up six starts back, but her form has since dipped to two sevenths and an eighth in her last three starts. She has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 62 leaves her with more to prove.

Battling Siki was third last time out and has been competitive without getting the breaks in this sequence, though yet to score. He has run over today's going before, and a rating well clear of his 69 official mark makes him the one to beat.

Comment
Romantic War's only placed effort in this sequence was third five starts back, and he remains winless with three unplaced runs since. Fit again after an 86-day break, he has run over today's trip and going before, but a rating of 43 leaves him with plenty to find.

Comment
Shelbourne Flyer's best effort was a runner-up spot five starts back, but he remains winless with little else to shout about in this sequence. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 55 puts him among the outsiders here.
