Curragh Race 3

Visit The Irish National Stud And Gardens Irish European Breeders Fund Maiden

Stake: $48,708

BULL SHARK (1) hinted at a good level of ability here on debut last month. Given time since that outing and may provide another big performance now stepping up to 1200m. Aidan O'Brien saddles GREAT BARRIER REEF (4). Closely related to several winners including Mystery Power who was a G2 winner as a juvenile. Warrants thought as looks to have a smart pedigree and Ryan Moore riding is a big positive. DUKE OF ARRAKIS (2) represents Johnny Murtagh who is related to several smart horses. Might need the experience. SANTERNO (7) is homebred and a close relative to G1 winner Tennessee Stud. Will likely need further.
