Admiral poised for big run

THERE’S a sub-29 seconds run in Maureens Admiral and the make-up of tonight’s fifth race at Curraheen Park looks to provide an opportunity for Marie Lavin’s dog to prove such.

A lightly raced sort, who has won twice over four bends and three times in sprints, he looks drawn to lead the two runners on his inner and that being the case, he should stretch clear of the field.

Paddock Honcho finished in front of him last time and he re-opposes here, but Maureens Admiral was carried wide on the run to the turn on that occasion and it certainly cost him valuable ground and momentum.
