28/6/24 The Curragh

 Racing returns on Friday with the beginning of the Irish Derby festival at The Curragh where on a 7 race card 2 stand out.

5.00: Cunningham's Of Kildare Irish EBF Maiden. 

13: Snapdragon: A well-bred horse who was a decent 4th at Naas on debut 48 days ago. He tracked the leaders sitting 2nd at halfway, he made no impression from a furlong out keeping on at the same pace. He wears blinkers for the first time here and with improvement on the cards he can open his account. 

7.15: JJ Mahon & Sons Irish EBF Stayers Handicap. 

9: Grappa Nonino: A course winner in his career who was a good second here when last seen 33 days ago. Despite going down by 3 1/4 lengths his yard is having a good spell and he can go one better returning to winning ways.
