Curragh Race 6 - Final Furlong Podcast With 1Xbet.ie Maiden
PORTNAHAPPLE (7) finished a respectable second on debut in a 2000m maiden at this venue. Quickly turned out and can go one better making second career appearance. APPEARED (2) improved markedly from a tenth in a Navan maiden placing third behind the top pick in the aforementioned maiden here. Steps up in trip wearing first-time cheekpieces. Dangerous. CARTHUSIAN (4) placed third two starts back at Dundalk AW before a fifth here most recently. Can bounce back. KILCREA ROCK (5) is quickly turned out after finishing fourth at Thurles last week. Most recent placing came almost a year ago. Potential.
