Curragh Race 5 - Romanised Minstrel Stakes (Group 2)

DIEGO VELAZQUEZ (3) won the G2 Solonaway Stakes last year. Struggled when only ninth in the 1600m G1 Queen Anne Stakes on reappearance at Royal Ascot. Can take a significant step forward here receiving a drop in grade and bringing pace to cope with going back over 1400m. CHICAGO CRITIC (2) brings plenty of 1400m form and warrants thought following a smooth win in the Listed Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown during May. The UK raider ROOM SERVICE (6) might be thereabouts following a solid third-place finish in the 1400m G3 Dubai Criterion Stakes at York. BIG GOSSEY (1) is three from four tackling track and trip. Include.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 11 at this track in LR on June 29 over 1207m, 2 len behind Vespertilio with 61.5kg at $6.50. Before that 3rd of 9 at this track in the G2 Greenlands Stakes on May 24 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind James's Delight with 59.5kg at $34. Looks hard to beat.

Resumes after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign by 1.75 len Leopardstown LR Amethyst Stakes May 11 over 1609m defeating Kortez Bay carrying 61kg at $15. Previously first up; second last of 8 at Cork in the LR April 6 over 1207m, 7 len behind Lady With The Lamp with 61kg at $6. In form and looks a top chance again.

Second-up. First-up after nine months second last of 10 at Ascot in the G1 Queen Anne Stakes on June 17 over 1609m, 15 len behind Docklands with 58kg at $15. Previously second-up 8th of 14 at Chantilly in the G1 Pr D Jky Club on June 2 2024 over 2100m, 5.5 len behind Look De Vega with 58kg at $6.90. Suited here and certainly worth following up.

The race before that 3rd in a small field at Leopardstown in the LR Amethyst Stakes on May 11 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Chicago Critic carrying 62.5kg at $4.30. Hard to fault if at his best.
