Curragh Race 6 - Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (Group 1)

The 2024 renewal of the Irish Derby looks to be a match event between Epsom Derby runner-up AMBIENTE FRIENDLY (1) and two-year-old G1 winner LOS ANGELES (5) with the former progressive this season securing a comfortable success in the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial (UK) before a 2.75L defeat in the G1 Epsom Derby (UK) tackling this trip while the latter ended last year with a narrow victory in the 2000m G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (France) and was a solid third tackling the aforementioned G1 Epsom Derby. GROSVENOR SQUARE (3) is open to further improvement representing leading connections. MATSURI (6) caught the eye at Leicester (UK) winning by 8L a 2000m novice event. Significant rise in grade. Interesting.

At the latest run 2nd of 16 at Epsom Downs in the G1 The Derby on June 1 over 2414m, 2.75 len behind City Of Troy carrying 58kg at $5.50. The race before that scored a big 4.5 len win at Lingfield LR Lingfield Derby Trial May 11 over 2334m defeating Illinois with 58kg at $9. Has the ability. Big chance.

Group 3 placegetter. Useful colt. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 9th of 16 at Epsom Downs in the G1 The Derby on June 1 over 2414m, 16 len behind City Of Troy carrying 58kg at $34. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Leopardstown in the G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial on May 12 over 2011m, 1.0 len behind Los Angeles with 59.5kg at $7. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
