Curragh Race 7 - Gra Chocolates Mdn
ALMAZANN (5) Ran 4th last start at Roscommon. Giving another go here and good career start. Christopher D Hayes is a bonus. Worth a ticket. COME WHAT MAY (6) 3yo by Nathaniel having initial appearance for Aidan P Obrien. Betting as a guide. LET'S SMASH IT (10) Unimpressive effort when 9th last run at Navan but solid career start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Winnable race. COPPER DOG (8) 3yo debutant sired by Frankel for John Patrick Murtagh and has a positive draw. Watch the market moves.

Started at $17.00 and just average when 5th last start at Clonmel. Displays good tactical speed. The large claim from Reese Holohan should help. Prefer others.
