Curragh Race 4 - Celebrating County Kildare And Lexington Twinning Mdn
OTSANA (10) bettered her opening effort when 2.5L third over 1000m at Down Royal three weeks ago. Tongue tie now applied. Capable of playing a significant role here on first attempt at this journey. A GOOD YARN (2) ran on nicely to be 4.5L sixth tackling a big field maiden at this track in April (1200m, soft). Absent since but may build upon that encouraging debut. VALENTINO ECLIPSE (5) was defeated only a neck first up at Leopardstown in May (1400m). Failed to match that on sole start since and drops in distance. Leading player. LILLI'S ANGEL (9) showed the benefit of her first two outings when 2.25L fourth latest. Might progress further.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when 6th of 24 at this track on April 19 over 1207m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Thenandnow carrying 61kg at $34. Much better for that experience.

Second-up. Promising on debut 3rd of 16 at Limerick on June 19 over 1408m, slow going 3 len behind Motta Alta with 58.5kg at $8. Went for a break before returning 6th of 14 at Gowran Park on September 1 over 1408m, 9 len behind Starborn Legend with 58.5kg at $8. Plenty of improvement to come.
