Curragh Race 7 - Kwiff More Bang For Your Bet Nursery Hcp
EXCHANGE STUDENT (8) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at the track. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Large claim helps. Respect against this field. ROMANCE (3) Backing up quickly. Tidy run when 2nd last time at Listowel and back in an easier grade. Has to carry more weight this time. Has to be included. MARGOT MAE (4) On a quick back up. Not up to standard when 5th last run at Listowel but facing a weaker group of contenders. Expecting to settle positively. Drawn the rails. Underrated. OUR BOY BAILEY (1) Ran 4th last time at Naas but has a good draw. Won't be far away during the run. Expect to go close.

Jumped at $9.50 and came in 4th last time at Naas but drawn nicely. Has shown early pace in races to date. Strong claims in this.

At $67.00 came in 6th last run at Naas. Does take a while to get into stride. Others are more appealing.

Backing up quickly for this race. Started $11.00 and not competitive when 5th last run at Listowel but lining up against easier rivals. Should muster plenty of early toe. Definite claims.

Secured the win by a slim margin last time at this venue. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. The large claim from Julian Pietropaolo helps. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
