Arizona looks the answer

JOHN OXX might be worth following at the Curragh this afternoon, where admittance will be free.

His once-raced Arizona John is a hopeful nap choice in the Peter Keatley Curragh Groundcare Maiden. The son of Rahy made a promising debut at Gowran Park earlier in the month, finishing fourth behind Houston Dynimo.

He enjoyed far from a clear run in the straight, but was noted staying on quite nicely at the end. An extra furlong on this stiffer track should work to his strengths and he is preferred to the Ballydoyle newcomer, the Montjeu colt, Washington Irving.
