Curragh Race 3 - Melbourne Cup Carnival Hcp
ELLA'S GOLD (13) makes plenty of appeal. Only denied by 0.5L two starts ago attempting 1800m in a Leopardstown handicap then followed with a nice third over 2100m at Roscommon. Cheekpieces added and returns off a forty seven day break. Plenty to like. NEO SMART (2) appears just nine days on from a 2L fourth trying 1400m at Gowran Park. On the rise and could prove competitive once again. COMFORT LINE (6) was fourth in a twenty two runner 1800m Leopardstown handicap ten days ago. Brings strong form. Respect. ALTO SAX (15) was only beaten a neck two starts back contesting a Leopardstown handicap over 1800m. Strong claims on that evidence.

At the latest run 4th of 12 at Gowran Park on August 7 over 1408m, 2 len behind Alfred Tennyson with 57kg at $5. The start before that 5th of 9 at Leopardstown on July 16 over 2011m, 4 len behind Marmeladova carrying 59kg at $7. Not far away last time. Finds a nice race and deserves another chance.

Second run back. First-up after seven months ran second last of 14 at Killarney on July 14 over 1609m, 23 len behind Red Hugh O'donnell carrying 61kg at $41. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Dundalk All Weather on December 5 over 2112m, 6 len behind Seola with 61kg at $26. Unlikely to be competitive.

At the latest run 7th of 17 at Leopardstown on August 6 over 1408m, 2 len behind Launch Time with 63kg at $13. Before that came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.3 len at Naas on July 22 over 1609m defeating Famous Enough carrying 60.5kg at $9.50. In the right race this time and is definitely worth including.
