Cork Race 1 - Tote Guarantee, Never Beaten By Sp Maiden Hurdle
AROUET (1) sets the standard after a solid hurdles debut when 3rd at Gowran Park over 3218m, and his prior Flat form includes a Listed 2nd at Leopardstown over 2414m and a Roscommon win. MAESTRO DES PINS (9) brings winning French Flat form, having scored over 2400m at Ligniers, and looks a key newcomer to hurdles. KARLYNN (7) has recent experience and was 5th at Clonmel over 3991m, which reads well for fitness. SESTINI (11) wasn’t far away when 4th over 2500m at Le Croise Laroche and adds depth. Something for the Multiples: AROUET (1) MAESTRO DES PINS (9) SESTINI (11) KARLYNN (7)
