Naas Race 1 - Matchbooklovesracing Irish EBF Maiden
CARRY THE FLAG (2) debuted with a promising 1.25L second contesting a 1005m maiden at The Curragh just under three weeks ago. Selected to go one better racing for top connections. Stablemate SUN GODDESS (6) is a daughter of Sioux Nation out of an unraced half-sister to a number of black-type performers. Expected to deliver a big effort providing her first start. WOODLAWN LILY (7) came home 2L fourth competing in a small field 1005m maiden at Cork on debut five weeks ago. Strong prospects. MR MONTAUK (3) faded late running 8.5L fifth tackling 1005m at this track on his first start. Of note with a step forward expected.
