Cork Race 2 - UNQUESTIONABLE Standing At Rathbarry Stud Maiden
THE PIPER'S CALL (11) hasn't been seen since finishing third in a 1200m contest at Naas. That run was ten months ago and possibly had issues since that performance. Could prove capable of getting off the mark here. SPARKY SPARKY (10) brings a fitness edge on many of the opponents in this having finished third over 1000m here recently. Could be more competitive and rates a likely contender. COOL AZUL (4) caught the eye debuting with a runner up effort in a Curragh maiden. That represents some of the strongest available form. Respect. HASITA (15) is yet to fire. Best watched with a view to the future.

Third race start. First start 7th of 17 at Curragh on June 28 over 1207m, 7 len behind Charasson with 59.5kg at $51. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 24 at Curragh on April 19 over 1207m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Thenandnow with 66kg at $51. Rates highly and expected to improve sharply.

Second-up 16th of 24 at Curragh on April 19 over 1207m, on a slow track; 15 len behind Thenandnow with 61kg at $126. Well suited here and is sure to take a ton of beating.

Third race start. Promising on debut 4th of 12 at Naas on September 18 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Roaring Fire carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Went for a spell before returning 3rd of 11 at this track on April 4 over 1005m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Cardiff By The Sea with 61kg at $7. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.
