Verdict

Red Epaulette won the first race of the new season over the course and distance but couldn't cope over an extra furlong under his penalty on a return visit last weekend. Real Force was a 25/1 chance when landing a course and distance maiden where he came with a storming late run to snatch the spoils. The filly Windham Belle was almost eight lengths behind in that latter contest and showed the value of the form by scoring at Dundalk. PISTOLETTO, brother to a Grade 1 winner in the USA and half-brother to four other winners, looked very smart when scoring easily at Tipperary and it will be a surprise if he doesn't remain unbeaten.
