Cork Race 1

Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden

Prize Money: $46,125

EDWARD THATCH (1) races for a powerful yard. Proved popular on debut finishing third in a maiden at the Curragh a month ago. Looks the obvious choice finding a winnable contest. BIT OF A BUZZ (5) wasn't disgraced on debut last week at Naas running third though was 6L behind the winner on that occasion. Needs improvement however is entitled to it on this second start. MATRIARCHAL (7) caught the eye on debut when only 2L behind in fourth place. Will have come on for that outing. Interesting. SANTORINI STORM (8) represents a top stable and can leave the debut effort well behind. Worth giving another chance.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd of 8 at Curragh on April 3 over 1005m, 3.5 len behind Lars Soldier carrying 60.5kg at $2. Won't need huge improvement to score.
