Droopys Oddysey against fastest heat winner Fire Height Amy looks the clash of the second round of the Barrys Tea Stake over 750 yards at Cork on Saturday.
Fraser Black’s runner Droopys Oddysey suffered plenty of traffic problems when beaten a short head by Shaneboy Sue in 41.93sec last week.
However now he wears his favourite red jacket he should be a different proposition.
Fire Height Amy looks a major threat. Brendan Maunsell’s bitch went quickest when making all in 41.51sec but hasn’t fared well in the draw getting trap five.
Black’s Cesarewitch runner-up Droopys Bomber, a 41.87sec heat winner, can make all in the last eliminator and hold off Chloes Gina and Native Hut.
Shaneboy Frankie is fancied to take the opening qualifier, while his conqueror of last week Karlow Master, who clocked 42.16sec is fancied in heat two.
Betting: 3 Droopys Oddysey, 7-2 Droopys Bomber, 8 Tradition, 12 Fire Height Amy, Karlow Master, 14 bar.
