Saturday's winner came in the Irish 2,000 Guineas where Rosallion was 5th two out making headway into 2nd a furlong from the finish. The 10/11 favourite stayed on well leading in the final strides beating Haatem by a head. In the other contest Art Power was 4th in a race won by Mitbaahy who beat Regional by 3/4 of a length.
The Curragh stages 8 races on Sunday with 3 standing out.
2.35: Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2)
7: Rogue Millennium: A smart mare who won the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last summer and then ran in 4 Group one’s her best finish being a second in the Justify Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September. She makes her return here for a new yard and if fully ready she will be hard to beat.
3.10: Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1)
1: Auguste Rodin: An excellent horse who despite not running well in the 2,000 Guineas and the King George last season did win every other race as a 3-y-o including the English and Irish Derby's the Irish Champion Stakes and the Breeders Cup Turf. His comeback run over at Meydan can be discounted and he can bounce back here.
3.45: Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas (Group 1)
9: Opera Singer: Finished her 2-y-o campaign with an impressive victory in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp in October beating Rose Bloom by 5 lengths. The way she won that confirmed what a good horse she is and with more to come she can give her trainer an 11th win in this race.
