Curragh Race 2 - Moloney's Bar And Music Venue Mdn
HANDANI (5) Tidy run when 2nd last start at Leopardstown and goes down in class. Worth consideration. MONTEVETRO (8) Back from a break. Gave a strong sight when 3rd last start at Wolverhampton but carrying more weight than last time. Expecting to settle positively. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . SAXONY CHARMS (13) Came in 5th last time at this venue. Giving another chance here and competing in an easier class. Respect in this event. ROYAL BALLET BLUE (9) First race appearance 3yo by Elzaam for Jack Foley and gets the perfect draw. Respect the betting.

First up from a break. At $67.00 moderate showing when 15th last start at Punchestown but fitter for debut run. The large claim from Jessica Ogorman helps. Will need to find a new peak in this.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Leopardstown and matched against less formidable competition. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Putting a tidy record together so far. Gets a chance against these.

Resumes after a break. Peaked on the run when 3rd beaten by just over 6L last start at Wolverhampton but will have to carry extra weight. Stands out as good value.
