Streetcar To Stars can star in maiden

Streetcar To Stars, a son of the great Sea The Stars, can land the Hanlon Concrete EBF Maiden at the Curragh tonight.

He was rather disappointing on his only outing as a juvenile, finished a moderate eighth over seven furlongs at Leopardstown, but was seen in a much better light on his reappearance, also at Leopardstown, earlier this month. Given a dramatic rise in trip to a mile and a half by John Oxx, Streetcar To Stars was beaten a nose into second by the well-backed Ger Lyons-trained Roheryn.

Indeed, you could argue the selection was a somewhat unlucky loser. When Declan McDonogh wanted to make his challenge, about two furlongs down, he had to wait for a gap and that was almost certainly the difference between victory and defeat!
