Curragh Race 7 - Final Furlong Podcast With 1Xbet.ie (C & G) Maiden
POWER STRIKE (18) could take a big step forward from his debut effort when a never dangerous sixth at Dundalk last month. Definitely worth giving a second look. Wootton Bassett colt SCIENTIFIC (20) makes obvious appeal on debut for Aidan O'Brien. Related to some useful performers bred by HH Aga Khan. Ryan Moore rides and sure to be popular. NAVINSKY (4) produced a great run when beaten a neck having raced prominently delivering second start at Navan last September (2000m). Tongue tie adopted upon return and can improve. Other debutants KENOUGH (15) and ZELANI (25) both hail from good stables and need monitoring in the betting.
