Cork Race 5

Cork Racecourse Maiden

Prize Money: $23,985

AL HAARITH (3) returns from an eight-month break having placed in a Curragh G2 when last seen during September. The winner of that has subsequently won again twice including landing the William Hill Futurity Trophy G1 at Doncaster. Major player. THE PIPER'S CALL (9) found the frame both career outings and since been gelded. Steps up in trip on reappearance from a lengthy absence. Might make presence felt. SHESHARNA (14) is a well-bred Palace Pier filly out of the high-class producer Shelina on debut for Dermot Weld. Respect. HIGHWAYMAN (4) is a stablemate of the main selection holding each-way hopes first-up.
