Wed 05 May 2007Lordan looks man to followBallinrobe preview: Wayne Lordan looks like he could be the man to follow at Ballinrobe this evening where the Cork-born jockey can kick off a double on Miss Dela.David Wachman's lightly raced four-year-old takes a significant drop in class for the nine-furlong maiden after a close fourth to Athenian Way at the Curragh recently. That was just the second start of Miss Dela's career and the first of them last year resulted in a runner-up placing to 1,000 Guineas heroine Nightime. Lordan will have no trouble doing the bottom weight on Tanzie in the nine-furlong handicap and this one put in a nice effort to be beaten only six lengths behind Ela Enta at Tipperary on her last start.
