Curragh Race 2 - Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes
STAR OF STATE (7) won nicely on her second start at Leopardstown and provides the best form on offer in this race finishing runner up in the G2 Lowther Stakes over at York. Will be hard to beat with Ryan Moore on board. ATLANTIC BRIDGE (5) duly obliged when well supported at Navan a couple of weeks ago and can easily take a big step forward in this deeper race. Top British trainer Karl Burke has a couple of good chances here including TEN CLARETS (6) who placed on his last three starts and should have more to offer whilst the unexposed MEHMAS STAR (3) outperformed his odds at Carlisle and warrants thought.

Returns from a 41-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 11 at Naas on August 3 over 1207m, 6 len behind Livenka with 58kg at $11. The race before that ran last of 25 in the LR Windsor Castle Stakes at Ascot on June 17 over 1207m, 21 len behind King Of Cloughan with 58kg at $51. This looks a stern test.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Last start 7th of 10 in the LR Pat Eddery Stakes at Ascot on July 24 over 1408m, 6 len behind Alfred Wallace with 59.5kg at $8. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Salisbury on June 30 over 1207m defeating Harry Knows carrying 59kg at $4. Useful type and deserves another chance.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by 2.75 len at Navan on August 27 over 1005m defeating Southern Boulevard carrying 60.5kg. The start before that 4th of 19 at this track on August 9 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind Push The Boat Out carrying 60.5kg at $8. Fitter and is a top chance again.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd of 17 in a G2 Lowther Stakes at York on August 20 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Libertango with 58kg at $3.30. Before that favourite; won by 9 len at Leopardstown on July 16 over 1307m defeating Not You Too with 57.5kg at $1.30. Hard to beat on the back of that sort of form.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Southwell All Weather on August 27 over 1207m, head behind Nour carrying 58.5kg at $5. The start before that ran second last in a small field at Newmarket (July) on August 6 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Woodhay Wayfarer carrying 61kg at $2.40. Likely to struggle against this line-up.
