Curragh Race 4 - Celebrating County Kildare And Lexington Twinning Mdn
OTSANA (10) Did well when 3rd last run at Down Royal. Should jump out and bowl along. Paddy Twomey yard are running hot lately. Can win. VALENTINO ECLIPSE (5) First up after 13 weeks and just missed first up last preparation at Leopardstown. Down in trip. Has to be included. TOURIN (13) Finished 6th last start at Gowran Park. Happy to forgive that run. Worth strong consideration. THE HIDDEN GARDEN (12) Eddie Harty & Patrick Harty trained 3yo by Australia having first race appearance. Respect the betting.

Started $81.00 and disappointing effort when 18th last time at Cork but having second race start. Might be ridden for luck. Competing in a lower grade. Will need a big effort to win this.

First up after a break. Was $34.00 and finished 6th last time at this venue but was on debut last time. Gets back and needs luck. Has drawn the rails. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Resuming after a 113 week spell. Started $67.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 15th last start at Cork but having second career run. The large claim from Darragh Osullivan helps. Very unlikely.

Tidy run when 3rd last run at Down Royal. Has plenty of early speed. Paddy Twomey has been training plenty of winners recently. Has strong claims.
