Cork Race 1 - Irish Ebf Auction Series Race
ZOAR (1) broke his maiden at the second attempt securing a victory in a 1207m event at Naas. Selected to register back-to-back wins. FIGHTING TEARS (5) made the perfect start to her career delivering a 0.5L triumph contesting a 1207m maiden at The Curragh. Expected to play a role in the finish. The most experienced runner in the field THE SCALLIONATOR (4) came home 7L sixth tackling the 1207m G1 Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh a month ago. Major threat dropping markedly in grade. Starman filly BELLE PARVENUE (6) is a half-sister to a number with success including nine-time winner Devil's Angel. One to note on debut.

Third race start. First start ran second last of 10 at this track on May 3 over 1005m, on a slow track; 17 len behind Edward Thatch with 60.5kg at $11. Went for a break before returning 8th of 18 at Naas on July 22 over 1207m, 8 len behind Man's Best Friend carrying 60.5kg at $81. Can't see him turning things around.

At debut, 11th of 15 at Naas on August 23 over 1207m, 10 len behind Zoar with 59kg at $13. Doubt she will trouble these.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 8 in the G1 Phoenix Stakes at Curragh on August 9 over 1207m, 7 len behind Sun Goddess with 59.5kg at $101. The race before that 4th of 7 in the G2 Railway Stakes at Curragh on July 18 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Celeron carrying 59.5kg at $51. Better than that last run suggests.

First-starter by Starman out of Rocking The Boat. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.
