19.00 Roscommon: Coco Bella @ 14/1 VC - 2pts win
Usually avoiding maidens but in this case it's hard to oppose lovely bred Coco Bella for this big price. She sprang to my attention on her most recent start in a Handicap at the Curragh over 10f a fortnight ago. That day she travelled like a dream in rear, on the bridle until the 2f marker, making smooth headway, switching to the inside rail to get a clear run in the closing stages and staying on well to finish 3rd while she didn't have the speed to cope with the first two. This form looks good as the winner won again a few days later. For Coco Bella it was her first good performance in her career. In all her six starts before she was utterly disappointing, changing the yard as well. She looks like a horse that will relish the step up in trip today, I ignore her only start over 12f on her debut anyway. For some reason things didn't went well for her yet, she is actually very well bred though, by Danehill Dancer, out of a G3 winning mare. Chris Hayes is booked for the ride, the combo with Trainer Deegan enjoys a 19.35% strike rate this season so far, so all looks set for a good run in a maiden that doesn't look overly exciting.
