Curragh Race 5 - Goffs Vincent O'brien National Stakes (Group 1)

HAFFNER (5) wasn't beaten far at Goodwood two starts ago against DR RASCAL (1). Obliged in good fashion winning the G3 Acomb Stakes at York last month and should give a bold sight. Deserves his place at this level. The second mentioned has not put a foot wrong all season. Managed to get the better of the main selection at Goodwood boosting his reputation. Impossible to fault his character and form. Respect. Ryan Moore chooses to ride GIANT SEQUOIA (4) who gained the second win of his career tackling the G2 Futurity Stakes over course and distance last month. Worth giving serious consideration. MONOGRAM (6) created a good impression here last month. Could be in the mix.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 47-day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len in the G2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood on July 28 over 1408m defeating Haffner with 58.5kg at $7.50. The start before that won by 2.25 len at Ascot on July 11 over 1408m defeating Rising Tiger carrying 60.5kg at $5. In form and worth following up.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 8 in the G1 Phoenix Stakes at this track on August 9 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Sun Goddess carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Before that 2nd in a small field in the G3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown on July 23 over 1408m, 1.3 len behind Florida Bay carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. Hard to fault form and can hit the frame.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start favourite; won by 0.5 len in the G2 Futurity Stakes at this track on August 22 over 1408m defeating Florida Bay carrying 59.5kg at $3. The start before that favourite; won by 2.25 len at this track on June 27 over 1408m defeating Oklahoma with 59.5kg at $1.40. The most recent run makes him hard to oppose.

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose at this track on August 22 over 1408m defeating Salt Lake with 60.5kg at $1.70. Could be anything and worth the utmost respect.
