Curragh Race 2 - Irish Ebf Median Sires Series Maiden
STARRED (1) improved from running eighth on debut over course and distance before missing by 1L placing third in a similar maiden contest over the same course and distance. Could make it third time lucky. Consider. PORT ARTHUR (2) placed third providing first career appearance in a Naas maiden four weeks ago. Form is yet to work out and can come on from the run. GOOFY GANDER (11) represents leading connections. Finished a disappointing tenth twelve days ago contesting a maiden at this venue. Shortlist representing an in-form yard. SILK BRAID (12) is the pick of the debutants and is by Invincible Army.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, ran last of 9 at Cork on September 10 over 1408m, on a slow track; 21 len behind Black Caviar Gold carrying 58kg at $51. Last start 8th of 16 at this track on September 27 over 1207m, 8 len behind Mumhan carrying 58kg at $401. More improvement needed to be competitive.

Raced two times to date. At debut, from last on the turn 5th of 7 at Galway on September 9 over 1408m, slow going 4 len behind Zous And Me with 55kg at $15. Last start 10th of 13 at this track on October 4 over 1408m, 15 len behind Cameo with 58kg at $26. Taking on a better field but she looks an improver who can measure up.
