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)
Astrology: 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.
Cheerful Giver: Still yet to break his maiden and outclassed
last time; Probably here to ensure a decent gallop.
David 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.
Dragon 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.
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.
Rivera 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.
Straight 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.
Vault: 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.
