Thurles Race 2 - Irish Ebf Auction Series Maiden (Smullen Series)
DUKE OF CUMBERLAND (1) has improved with each start so far. Missed placing second by a head at Naas three weeks back. Could go one better. Consider. KILLASHEE WARRIOR (2) finished fourth both career starts so far including last time in the Listed Ingabelle Stakes at Leopardstown where the winner has since won the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac. Worth noting on race form. CHAPEL LANE (3) placed a respectable third debuting at Navan before finishing a disappointing seventh at Leopardstown next time. A first-time visor is expected to help and might bounce back. BLISSFUL BONITA (11) is the pick of the debutants.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 16 at Naas on September 18 over 1408m, head behind Madbadanddangerous with 60.5kg at $4. The race before that 3rd of 9 at Galway on August 3 over 1408m, slow going 1.75 len behind Joltin carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Capable of taking this out.

Third race start. First start second last of 8 at Leopardstown on July 10 over 1408m, 9 len behind Phenomenal Filly with 58kg at $67. Went for a break before returning 6th of 12 at Down Royal on September 29 over 1408m, 7 len behind Stars Will Shine carrying 53kg at $67. Strips fitter and expected to figure prominently.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 6th of 8 at Curragh on September 28 over 1810m, 18 len behind South Island carrying 60.5kg at $41. Doubt he will trouble these.

Two-year-old filly (Phoenix Of Spain - Essonite) making her debut. Must be kept safe.
