Curragh Race 4 - Heider Family Stables Round Tower Stakes (Group 3)

GREAT BARRIER REEF (1) remains unbeaten after three starts. Returns following a 0.5L success in the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot beating twenty rivals. Sets the standard and holds leading claims. VELOZEE (7) produced a career-best effort when 1.75L third in the G1 Phoenix Stakes over course and distance. Main danger. LIVENKA (6) won twice since two promising thirds including when quickening clear by 3.5L attempting the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas. Makes some appeal. PUSH THE BOAT OUT (2) scored by 1.25L tackling a nineteen runner maiden here on debut. Should have plenty more to offer. Not discounted.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at Naas on August 3 over 1207m defeating Maeda Matsu carrying 56kg at $1.70. The start before that favourite; won by 1.5 len at Fairyhouse on July 8 over 1207m defeating Star Of State with 58kg at $1.80. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.
