Ireland today

Today´s Irish meeting at Tipperary goes ahead after an early morning inspection, but the ground will be very testing. Main event is a listed race over 7 1/2 furlongs for fillies and mares at 17.25 CET and thew clear form choice here is Favid Wachman´s Latin Love. It is probably signifiant that she will be partnered by Johnny Murtagh, while Aidan O´Brien´s Totally Devoted will have Seamus Heffernan in the saddle. Firey Red (Dermot Weld/ Pat Smullen) looks the main danger, as Aine (Tommy Stack/ Wayne Lordan), a useful performer. must give away weight all round, no easy task in this company. Also of interest is the Fegentri ladies race, a handicap over 1 1/2 miles at 20.25. German representative Nadine Gratz rides Tutti Frutti for Tom Hogan, while Susan Finn saddes two candidates, the 9yo German-bred Tabaco (C. Burri) and Effortless (Paula Fliermann), but the likely favourite is Noel Meade´s Roll Over Rover, with local girl- and Fegentri leader- Clare MacMahon in the saddle.
