Curragh Race 9

Finlay Volvo Irish European Breeders Fund (C & G) Maiden

Stake: $59,778

ESHERANN (4) Nice run when 2nd last time at Leopardstown and having second career run. Has the speed to overcome the wide stall. Stepping up in trip. Warrants a bet. PROPOSE (6) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Dundalk. Winning hope. RIZAL (7) Ran 5th last start at Gowran Park but was a debutant last start. Underrated. CROSSHAVEN (3) 3yo debutant by Cable Bay for trainer J J Murphy. Watch early betting.
