Cork Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden
CARDIFF BY THE SEA (7) looked promising running second on debut. Came up short when highly tried on two subsequent starts. Resumes in a much easier contest and will likely prove very difficult to beat before going back up in grade. WHITE SMOKE (12) may improve for the application of first time cheekpieces. Rates well amongst this field and with a good jockey booked is a key player. THENANDNOW (10) is a beautifully bred daughter of Dubawi out of a G1 winner. Perhaps didn't live up to that pedigree on starts as a juvenile however is very much the type to progress now a 3 year old. Keep safe. WEARING STARS (11) holds each way claims after a break.
