Gowran Park Race 2 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf (C & G) Mdn
Further progression is likely from DRUMBEAT (6). Nice effort when 1L third in a 1600m Leopardstown maiden twenty six days ago. By Wootton Bassett and out of a G1-winning mare in South Africa. Should be open to more so looks the one to beat. THE CAPTAINS DAY (15) can build on an encouraging 4.25L fourth in a 1400m Curragh maiden on debut. Colin Keane takes over and makes the shortlist. EQUUS VICTOR (7) revisits turf after a 5.5L fourth in a 1600m Dundalk maiden. Strong claims on form. INVINCIBLE MIND (10) deserves a market check debuting and is by Study Of Man representing the in-form Joseph O'Brien yard.

Second-up. First start 5th of 7 at Curragh on March 15 over 1005m, in the wet; 9 len behind Ruler's Control carrying 60.5kg at $4. Went for a break before returning 4th of 13 at Dundalk All Weather on August 15 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Ile De France carrying 60.5kg at $17. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Resuming after a five months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Dundalk All Weather March 27 over 1005m, 15 len behind Maria Quiteria with 55kg at $15. On debut second last of 7 at Curragh March 15 over 1005m, in the wet; 12 len behind Ruler's Control carrying 57kg at $41. Maybe later.
