Down Royal Race 1 - Molson Coors Beverage Company Nursery Hcp
PREMIER VIEW (1) was always doing enough under Conor Cusack to get off the mark gaining a 0.5L course and distance success earlier in the month. Warrants thought as further progress is expected on nursery debut. Serious player. SANTO PARVENUE (5) had plenty left when a 0.5L winner on nursery debut tackling the trip at Naas. Blinkers retained and is an obvious danger with Billy Lee taking over the reins. THE DRAMBLING MAN (3) finished 1.25L third behind the just noted at Naas and is anticipated to be thereabouts. INVINCIBLE IRISH (4) was 0.75L further back in fourth last time at Naas. Makes the shortlist.

Went for a break before returning won by 0.5 len at this track on September 4 over 1005m defeating Spirit Of The Nite carrying 54kg at $13. Strips fitter and will be tough to beat.

Most recently 3rd of 14 at Naas on September 17 over 1005m, 1.3 len behind Santo Parvenue carrying 56kg at $21. The run before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Sligo on August 5 over 1207m, 19 len behind Hi Corbett Court with 60.5kg at $51. Can improve again. Ready to open his account this time.
