Clondinnery looks good for openers
The Choisir colt made a cracking start at the Curragh last month and is a reasonably confident choice to step up on that run.
Quickly into his stride, the selection was always near the front and it was into the final furlong before he began to fade, finishing three parts of a length and a neck third behind High Award and Suntan.
Keagan Latham will surely make plenty of use of him again and Clondinnery should take all of the catching.
John Oxx’s mildly frustrating Behtarini has to get the vote in the Generali Ireland Maiden.
The son of Dalakhani was a strong order in the market on his seasonal debut at Leopardstown, but disappointed in dead-heating for fourth place with subsequent winner Legendary Lad, behind Mister Carter.
Stepping up two furlongs in trip, however, and down in class, may well see the selection in a more favourable light!
Aidan O’Brien’s twice-raced Ice Empress gets the nod in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Maiden.
She was one of four O’Brien ran in the same race at Leopardstown, taking 8th of 11 behind Lady Springbank, and considerable improvement can now be anticipated.
