Tipperary stage their first meeting of 2003. Tipperary stage their first meeting of 2003 on Wednesday afternoon when the first of six-races gets underway at 3.00pm. Aidan O'Brien's Devil Moon, a costy failure after starting at odds of 1/3 for a Cork maiden over 5F bids to put that defeat behind him in the opening Munster Maiden, also over the minimum trip. The son of Danehill looks the clear pick with newcomers Chained Emotion and Rinkie Dinkie Doo the obvious dangers. Kevin Prendergast has in string well forward at this time of the season and Alexander Anapolis can fly the flag for the Curragh trainer in the EBF Fillies Maiden where Prayer looks the main threat. The Junction Race has attracted a field of 12 including 4 previous winners and here Dermot Weld, who saddles two runners for the 7f contest, may have the solution with Faadhil. On his only start this term he wasn't disgraced when 3rd under top-weight in a 9f handicap at the Curragh behind Latino Magic last month and if he can improve from that effort can defeat Gianfanti and newcomer Flamelet.
