Curraheen punters should follow the Star

TONIGHT’S card at Curraheen is the last one before Christmas and it features the final of the classy Gain Feeds Christmas Stake, which can go to Burgess Star.

It would be fair to say that the draw favours Curryhills Hawki, but he must find his best break to take advantage of it against a rival that has returned from a break in the form of his life.

Trained by J J Fennelly and Sheila Spillane, Burgess Star has recorded two mightily impressive performances in the previous rounds of this competition and I believe he has the pace to make the bend in front of Curryhills Hawki.
