Curragh Race 1 - 1XBet.ie Supports Safe Gambling Fillies Maiden
SPRING IS HERE (12) contested Listed company twice on three starts as a juvenile. Failed to have an impact when favourite on return in January (hampered at start). Preferred for the benefit of a run. CLOSELY (4) shaped with promise delivering two outings in quick succession around this trip last June. Top yard know how to ready one. Must enter calculations. SLANEY VIEW (11) reached the placings in two early seasonal events for two years old. Keeping off track since April however form is best on offer. Need to see if ability is still there. ABOVEHERONLYSKY (1) showed plenty on debut in 2024. Could take advantage from a return thirteen days ago.

Returned from break 9th of 16 at this track on March 15 over 1207m, on rain affected going; 19 len behind Breaking Dawn carrying 64.5kg at $29. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

Resuming after a ten months break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 10 at Cork June 13 over 1207m, 6 len behind Suzie Songs with 58kg at $21. On debut ran last in a small field at Listowel June 1 over 1307m, 12 len behind Magny Cours carrying 56kg at $6. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.
