Curragh Race 2 - Businessplus.ie Irish European Breeders Fund Maiden
EVENING BLUES (2) placed both career starts so far including finishing runner-up to a subsequent winner at Naas. Can act on those major form claims. FLUSHING MEADOWS (3) is the pick of the debutants with leading jockey Ryan Moore booked. Bred by Wootton Bassett out of Galileo mare Hence and a half-brother to black-type winner Mega Force. Worth considering. Second pick of the Aidan O'Brien runners is LEWIS CARROLL (6) who is bred by Siyouni out of first-time mare More Beautiful. Potential. NORTH COAST (7) is another debutant of note. Bred by Starman out of La Australiana. May improve in time.

Having third race start. At debut, 6th of 14 at this track on May 5 over 1207m, 7 len behind Andab carrying 58kg at $11. Second-up 7th of 9 at this track on May 24 over 1207m, 6 len behind Brussels carrying 59.5kg at $19. This doesn't look as tough so looks hard to beat.
