Curragh Race 2 - Izuzu Ireland Irish European Breeders Fund Mdn
CLUSTER (4) caught the eye finishing 7.5L third here tackling a fierce 1600 maiden last month. Expect this Frankel colt will take plenty from that first racecourse experience. KINGDOM OF CAMELOT (8) finished 1.25L further back in fourth contesting the same event. One of three representatives from the Aidan O'Brien stable and merits plenty of respect. CAPABILITY BROWN (3) is a half-brother to Saxon Warrior. Improved from opening run to be 3.5L away in third trying 1400m at Gowran Park latest. May continue the upward trajectory. BREATH OF PARADISE (2) appreciated stepping up to this journey when 1.75L third last time. In the mix.

Third race start. First start 4th in a small field at this track on June 3 over 1408m, 11 len behind Aix La Chapelle carrying 60.5kg at $13. Went for a spell before returning 3rd of 10 at this track on August 16 over 1810m, 1.75 len behind Zarak Pasha carrying 60.5kg at $26. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran second last of 13 at this track on August 29 over 1609m, 20 len behind Darkness Falls with 59.5kg at $101. Don't think he will trouble this field.
