Futurity Stakes 2011

4.25 Curragh
Galileo European Breeders Fund Futurity Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1)  (2YO only)
Winner €57,150 
Advice: 1 pt win David Livingston (5/2 Boylesports) 

Owner detailsAstrology: Relatively unfancied on debut but came with a late rattle to landing decent maiden at Leopardstown in style of a colt that had more to give; Not so sure if step back in trip will suit him but deserves respect here.

Owner detailsCheerful Giver: Still yet to break his maiden and outclassed last time; Probably here to ensure a decent gallop.

Owner detailsDavid Livingston: Outpaced on debut but that in decent maiden at Leopardstown and much more like it when he bolted up in good time considering ground conditions over C&D latest; Looked like a group winner on that occasion and should go well.

Owner detailsDragon Pulse: Just got beaten by reopposing Vault (winner since) on debut and plenty of promise when winning at Leopardstown next time out; Likely to give it a good go and could be thereabouts 
although doubt about whether he reverses form with Vault.

Owner details
Parish Hall: Made a deep impression when only of only two horses good enough to catch subsequent Group winner Requinto (subsequent winner Raphel Santi behind) on debut at Leopardstown; Creditable second back there in Tryos Stakes but well beaten in Phenoix and may be vulnerable.

 

Owner detailsRivera Poet: found only Group winners too good in Power (Coventry Stakes winner) and Remember When (Tryos Stakes winner) on debut and made up tremendous ground to come and beat subsequent wide margin winner at Galway; Can take a big hand.

Owner detailsStraight Of Zanibar: Made a pleasing debut when fading on late into third at Naas, and followed up promising run in Tryos Stakes with listed win of his own; Form has taken a real battering since though, and others preferred.

Owner detailsVault: Eighth foal; half-brother to 7f winner Top Class; Looked useful prospect when beating Dragon Pulse in maiden here on debut and made amends for Group disappointment when winning competitive Nursery at Galway under topweight (had decent draw) and while he’s not exposed, will need to up his game.

VERDICT: DAVID LIVINGSTON looked well upto this class when running out a clear cut winner of a decent maiden last time and might be the answer to a tricky puzzle. Rivera Poet and Parish Hall and Astrology are the dangers.
