Mustameet fancied to outclass big field

HE may have 29 rivals to contend with, but Kevin Prendergast’s Mustameet has to be fancied to land the nap in the Media Ltd Median Auction Maiden at the Curragh this afternoon.

You could argue he has a bad draw and that six furlongs is on the short side. However, the selection looks different class to his rivals and is fancied to overcome such drawbacks.

The American-bred contested the Group Two Beresford Stakes over a mile on this track last time and was beaten a neck and two lengths into third spot behind a pair of smart horses in Azamour and tonight’s Breeders’ Cup candidate, Relaxed Gesture.
