Formscan By Shane Redmond - RODEO BLUES (3) failed to land a blow when coming from off the pace in a 17-runner handicap at Galway but still ran a big race to take fifth spot. She was earlier a winner at both Ballinrobe and Naas and could be the one to beat on that form. A Pretty Penny has finished behind Rodeo Blues on two occasions but is far better off at the weights now and she’s likely to get a lot closer. Maxminelli shaped with promise on his handicap debut behind a strong favourite at Limerick last month and should go well along with Tanzanite Diamond who will appreciate the step back up in distance.

Quotes on Rodeo Blues (IRE)
We thought she'd be better going back left-handed. She hung out badly in Ballinrobe the last time. She won nicely and, Dylan gave her a lovely ride. She's actually due to go to the sales tomorrow. We'll see. We'll discuss it with the owners and see. It's nice to get another win here today and, it's great that there is a big team of the syndicate here today, family and friends.
