Curragh Race 8 - Bet With Tote On Racing & Sports Hcp

Previous course and distance winner BOLD OPTIMIST (4) may strike again. Built on some decent form when 0.5L second in a 1000m Naas handicap last time out. Given a forty three day break since and finding a nice opportunity here can maintain a solid profile and be among the chances. MARY SHOELACES (1) scored a competitive handicap tackling track and trip last time. Respect after that 0.5L triumph. Leading chance. HARRY'S HILL (5) was second to the just mentioned last time. Not much between that pair so should be in the mix again. HAPPY HENRY (6) holds chances on form of a 1000m Bellewstown handicap win last month.

Comes here off a 46-day let-up. Last start ran last of 12 at Fairyhouse on July 1 over 1709m, 29 len behind Pete's Dream with 58.5kg at $34. Before that 6th of 8 at Gowran Park on May 5 over 1911m, 18 len behind Dark Lucinda carrying 64.5kg at $151. Doubt she will offer up too much of a challenge to the top few.
