Curragh Race 6 - Clem Murphy Memorial Irish European Breeders Fund Mooresbridge Stakes (Group 2)
MINNIE HAUK (6) resumes after six months away following a high-class three-year-old campaign that ended with a sixth tackling 2414m at Del Mar for the Breeders Cup. Well positioned fresh and can make her presence felt. CERCENE (5) returns from eight months off having kicked off last campaign with a Leopardstown placing attempting 1408m so a forward showing would be no surprise. BESET (4) won two straight before finding one better tackling track and trip and is a strong chance to atone. ADELAIDE RIVER (1) makes his first start for Joseph O'Brien after finishing twelfth in the G1 Caulfield Cup. Holds class to figure.
