Make it Midas

THE promising Midas Touch should be hard to beat in the TRI Equestrian Maiden at the Curragh this afternoon.

The Galileo colt made an excellent start at Gowran Park 16 days ago and, trained by Aidan O’Brien, is likely to come on plenty for the experience.

O’Brien supplied the winner of that Gowran contest in the potentially high-class Jan Vermeer, who beat John Oxx’s well-regarded Behtarini by a comfortable two and a half lengths.
