Gowran Park Race 2 - Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland Mdn Hurdle
COSMIC FRONT (16) Ran 6th last start in a hurdle at Down Royal. Can show a better performance this time. Paul Townend is a plus. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. LIRAKALI (9) Fresh today. Placed 2nd last start at Clonmel and was on debut last time. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. THE CAPTAIN'S WORD (13) First run back after break. Ran well when 3rd last time at Punchestown and having second race start. Serious player. FRENCH ADVENTURE (17) 5yo first starter by Kapgarde for David M Obrien. Great to see Josh Williamson taking the ride. Market as guide.

First up after a 31 week break. At $23.00 below standard effort when 6th last time in a hurdle at Fairyhouse but having second career run. Unlikely to go close.

Back from a spell. Jumped at $29.00 and well beaten when 8th last time at Kilbeggan. Should muster plenty of early toe. The large claim from Ross Berry helps. Rough chance today.
