Review killarney 12th May
Sacrificial (Colin Keane) beats Liffey View (No.7)

A small but select field of four lines up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race at Killarney on Tuesday evening.< Bertie Le Belge was soundly beaten in Group Three and Listed events on his last two starts of 2014, but showed plenty of promise in kicking his career off with a double and Ger Lyons will be hoping he can start off his three-year-old campaign in similar fashion.
He concedes match fitness to Postulation a winner at Dundalk last month, and the Aidan O'Brien-trained Cradle Mountain who drops in class after contesting the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial on Sunday.< Nasution completes the quartet on his seasonal reappearance.
O'Brien bookends the seven-race card with good chances, starting with Hobart in the opening Celtic Steps Show At Killarney Racecourse (C And G) Maiden at 5.40.
The Galileo colt left his debut well behind when staying on to go close over a mile at Limerick and this extra half a furlong should be to his liking.< Tigris River returns to the same course and distance of his sole victory when he flies the Ballydoyle flag in the closing www.killarneyraces.ie Race.< Out Of Context shaped as though she wanted further when a promising third over seven furlongs on debut and that's what she gets in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden over an extended mile.
The burden of top weight may not be enough to halt Sacrificial in the Bet Online At thetote.com Handicap if he arrives in the same mood as when scoring on his seasonal debut at Leopardstown last month.
Dundalk scorer Mozetta also bids for a double in the Jim Ryan Racecourse Services Handicap, while Dragon Khan bids to gain compensation for a string of good efforts in defeat in the Ross Golf Course Membership From 250 Euros Handicap.
