Curragh Race 4 - Follow Toteracing On X Maiden
No Nay Never colt MONKSTOWN (8) represents top connections and is taken to make the perfect start to his career. MATHAN (7) lost out by a neck when runner-up over 1200m at this track just under two weeks ago. Expected to challenge for the win. STARSURGE (12) failed to shine finishing 18L tenth over 1400m at this track on debut recently. Step forward expected wearing a hood for the first time. A DREAM TO SHARE (1) demonstrated strong form including at G1 level in jumpers flat races. Rates highly following an eye-catching 3.8L fourth tackling 1600m here delivering flat debut.

Going well. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 18 at this track on March 16 over 1609m, slow going 4 len behind Dupont Law carrying 66.5kg at $21. The run before that 4th of 14 at Naas on January 26 over 3721m, 22 len behind Ballybow carrying 75.5kg at $3.30. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 7th of 18 at this track on March 16 over 1609m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Dupont Law carrying 66.5kg at $101. Has upside and can open his account.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 14th of 27 at this track on November 3 over 1609m, 13 len behind Kibris with 60.5kg at $17. No surprise if he came back in a lot better shape this prep.
