Curragh Race 7

Final Furlong Podcast At 1XBet.ie Maiden

Prize Money: $36,900

SHAIHAAN (9) is likely to take beating. Finished 10L ahead of KING OF SPARTA (5) on second start though did have the benefit of experience. Fourth in a G2 here the final outing. Top contender. KING OF The second mentioned was runner-up on sole other start in a Listowel maiden (1400m). Half-brother to Snowfall and may go better now tackling further. Fellow Ballydoyle colt GEORGE STUBBS (3) is selected by Ryan Moore. Very well related and could make an impression. Johnny Murtagh fields a quarter of the newcomers all with appeal. LATIN AMERICA (6) looks the one of most interest so watch for a positive market lead.
