Cork Race 1 - Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden
EDWARD THATCH (1) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 3rd at Curragh over this trip on soft ground, beaten 3.55L. SANTO PARVENUE (10) was 4th in the same race, 12.55L behind, and MATRIARCHAL (7) was 4th at Dundalk over 1006m, beaten 1.83L. Several debutants add intrigue, but proven form gives Edward Thatch (1) the edge. Something for the Multiples: EDWARD THATCH (1) MATRIARCHAL (7)
