Cork Race 2

Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Nursery Hcp (Birdcatcher Series)

Prize Money: $61,808

PINK VENOM (4) readily justified favouritism when opening her account under Ben Coen eight-days-ago at Fairyhouse. Climbs 4kg for that effort however further progress is expected and she can go back-to-back. HOWLIN WOLF (6) followed a 1.25L Curragh success on nursery debut with consecutive seconds at Navan. Wears first-time blinkers. Main danger. FINE LINE (1) delivered a shock 2.25L runner-up effort at a massive price in a sales race at the Curragh. Would be a leading contender if able to build on that display. Navan maiden winner BEST LOVE (5) enters calculations up in trip and deserves a market check.

The start before that 3rd of 15 at Naas on August 23 over 1207m, 9 len behind Timeless Tale carrying 58kg at $19. Would need to improve further.

Most recently 4th of 7 at Fairyhouse on September 21 over 1207m, 6 len behind Pink Venom carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. The race before that 6th of 10 at Navan on September 5 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Lars Soldier with 54kg at $6. Certainly worth another chance.
