Curragh Race 1 - 1xbet.ie Supporting October Racing Irish European Breeders Fund Mdn
NATION BLAZE (4) finished 2L second in a Cork conditions race over 1207m before finding stronger opposition tackling the 1408m Goffs Million. Return to sprinting should suit. Leading contender. SHAKE IT OUT (8) was denied a clear passage before staying on for sixth at this course and distance on debut beaten 4.5L attempting a competitive thirteen runner maiden. Represents the main danger. SONNY HAYES (10) encountered traffic when fourth at Cork trying 1005m. Might appreciate the extra trip after finishing strongly. Claims. EAGLE ECLIPSE (1) raced greenly when beaten 5L at Cork contesting 1005m and is a half-brother to three winners at this journey. Respect.

Second-up. First start ran second last of 10 in the LR Tipperary Stakes at Naas on July 4 over 1005m, 10 len behind Carry The Flag with 59.5kg at $17. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 7 at Naas on October 11 over 1207m, on a slow track; 19 len behind Bengal Tiger with 59.5kg at $23. No easier this time and not likely to threaten.
