Gowran Park Race 2 - Red Mills Trial Hurdle (Grade 3)
STORM HEART (6) raced in second prior to securing a 6L victory attempting a four runner 4023m hurdle at Limerick during December. Selected to follow up racing for a top stable. FARREN GLORY (2) returned from a break finishing 7.5L third in the 3218m G3 Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas just under three weeks ago. Bold show expected. WORKAHEAD (7) faded late running 14L fourth in the previously mentioned G3 Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas. Strong prospects. KAWABOOMGA (3) has been off the track since registering a 1.5L triumph contesting a 3218m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse January last year. Notable contender.

Second-up today. First-up after a year finished third of 7 starters at Naas in the G3 Limestone Lad Hurdle on January 25 over 3218m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Glen Kiln with 71kg at $11. Previously to post a big 7 len win. Naas on November 10 2024 over 3218m defeating Ho My Lord carrying 75.5kg at $1.70 in a steeplechase. Can improve on first up performance. Warrants thought.
