Curragh Race 1

John Ormonde Wexford Sand Irish European Breeders Fund (C & G) Maiden

Stake: $40,221

HAWK MOUNTAIN (3) kept on well after a slow start for fifth making Curragh debut earlier in the month. Key player up in trip representing formidable trainer and jockey combination. PERISHER (5) was a close runner-up debuting over the distance at Galway. May go one better racing second-up. PORT OF SPAIN (6) finished sixth behind the main selection (stablemate) at Curragh. Progress expected. STAR CHAMBER (7) made no impression delivering initial Leopardstown outing. Remains with potential having been gelded since that encounter,.
