Vastonea one of six for Ballinrobe feature Popular veteran Vastonea is one of six runners to take their chance in Monday's Win Big With Tote Handicap at Ballinrobe. The extended nine-furlong heat is the feature event on the evening card and Kevin Prendergast's stable stalwart is sure to have his supporters as he makes just his second start of the campaign. Vastonea has twice won the Topaz Mile at the Galway Festival, with that event kicking off on Monday week. He shoulders joint top-weight alongside Castle Guest while Palmones would be the form horse having won at this track last month. Level Of Insanity was beaten just a neck at Naas last time and Jim Bolger's charge will surely be a popular choice for the Tote Handicap which also features Joseph O'Brien's Detail and Mick Halford's Zinat. Sheila Lavery fields two in the 11,500 euros event in Desert Dancer and Empress Lyla. Gordon Elliott and Gary Halpin team up with High Expectations in the Tote Apprentice Handicap which also features Tony Martin's Dara Tango. High Haven has hit the bar twice now for Willie Mullins but will try to make it third-time lucky in the Win Big With Tote Maiden, although O'Brien's useful bumper runner High Tide also merits respect. Dermot Weld's Alahida could finish only fourth on her racecourse bow but should be in the mix for the Win Big With Tote Maiden while New Story heads the way in the opening Tote Claiming Race.
