Zest should be too sharp for Tralee rivals to score at her 12th attempt

ERIDANI ZEST can finally open her account at the 12th time of asking by coming through late to land Tralee's A6 over 525 yards at 1.47.

Padhraic Fernane's bitch has been very consistent on the clock of late, finishing second three times in a row, and a similar level of performance is likely to suffice against today's rivals.

Securing a clear run early will be key, allowing her to turn within striking distance then asserting in the second half of the contest.

Other fancies at the Kingdom Stadium are Michael Reidy's Mount Eagle Best (11.45) and the syndicate-owned Rosstemple Orio who can complete a four-timer at 1.12.

Valley is the afternoon venue with Donna Davy's Ballymac Kuro likely to relish the drop back to sprinting at 3.41, while David Curry's Tromora Sweetie (7.42) can make it second time lucky at Star Pelaw this evening having been a beaten favourite on debut.
