Curragh Race 5 - Goffs Million
APPLES AND BANANAS (2) made it two from three in his career winning a 1600m Listed race at Deauville (France) by 0.75L. Consider. ANTELOPE CANYON (1) represents leading connections. Off the mark delivering second attempt last week when a 0.5L winner of a 1200m maiden at Naas. Up in trip. Looks promising. Rates highly. GARDEN OF EDEN (11) finished 0.75L second tackling a 1400m Listed event at Leopardstown. Warrants thought. AMERICAN BAR (8) might place.

Racing well. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 0.8 len at Deauville LR August 17 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Rosa Salvaje carrying 57kg at $3. Before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at Killarney July 15 over 1609m defeating Puppet Master with 60.5kg at $3.80. Rates highly here and should be right in the mix again.
