Curragh Race 5

Kildare House Hotel Nursery Handicap

Stake: $42,232

WHICH WOLF WINS (1) got off the mark two runs ago securing a 0.5L victory over the distance at Galway. Fair seventh of twenty-one effort next time at Naas and is poised for a return to winning ways back up in distance. NAZARIO (3) found the frame on all three career starts. Could be thereabouts once again. INVINCIBLE WILL (4) placed both outings tackling the trip. Set for a big run adopting first-time hood. Any moves in the market for the recently gelded JORDI BEAR (5) are to be noted with first-time cheekpieces also going on.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Cork on July 25 over 1005m, 9 len behind Jack The Bachelor with 58kg at $9.50. Before that of 17 at Ascot in the G3 Albany Stakes on June 20 over 1207m, 20 len behind Venetian Sun carrying 58kg at $51. Expect she will make amends.

Last start 6th of 9 at Killarney on August 22 over 1609m, 6 len behind Extravagant carrying 61kg at $3.80. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Galway on July 31 over 1408m, slow going 0.5 len behind Which Wolf Wins carrying 58kg at $6.50. Certainly worth another chance.
