Clearwater Jack can strengthen AIB claims

CLEARWATER JACK can strengthen his claims in the AIB Bank Stakes at Curraheen Park by taking the first of tonight’s semi-finals of the €11,000 to-the-winner event.

Denis Fitzgerald’s ace made it two from two in the stake and five from six overall when carding 28.52 last week, having posted a 28.64 effort in the opening round. Clearly a rising star, Clearwater Jack can hit his rivals for six!

The well drawn Superstar Bluie looks the pick of the opposition. This fellow was denied a clear run when second in 28.78 last week and should benefit from a switch to the inside.
