Curragh Race 5 - Fbd Hotels And Resorts Phoenix Sprint Stakes (Group 3)
This looks a perfect chance for BIG MOJO (2) to rediscover winning ways. Scored at G1 level last season attempting the Haydock 1200m Sprint Cup. Disappointing three runs this season including when tenth in G1 July Cup at Newmarket over 1200m last month. Given a great opportunity to bounce back. BIG GOSSEY (1) is a ten-time winner at this track. Veteran scored over course and distance contesting the Listed Belgrave Stakes and was a good second latest revisiting in the 1400m G2 Minstrel Stakes. Strong chance. A third by JAMES'S DELIGHT (5) in the G2 Greenlands Stakes over course and distance has been boosted. Rates a good chance off a break. BUCANERO FUERTE (4) will enjoy a return here. Was G1 placed last season however will need to improve on latest form.
