Curragh Race 6 - Bermingham Cameras Irish European Breeders Fund Maiden
STARMAN TOM (11) caught the eye after a slow start on debut at Cork a fortnight ago. Made up good late ground to suggest that 1200m is right at this stage of his career and is by an exciting stallion. Major player. THENANDNOW (24) remains tackling 1200m having spent the bulk of her juvenile campaign up in trip. Will need to be sharp on this return to action however has hinted ability. CACTUS (14) brings plenty of experience and interesting that connections are persevering with her. Market confidence would be a big help. GLEN AND TONIC (16) is yet to make the frame on first three turf starts though holds interest off all-weather form.

Second-up. First start 11th of 14 at Bellewstown on August 26 over 1609m, 20 len behind Touted Plan with 59.5kg at $151. Went for a spell before returning 8th of 12 at Dundalk All Weather on March 27 over 1609m, 15 len behind Gaiety Girl carrying 61kg at $9. Still early in the prep and might need more time.
