Curragh 13:55 - w/o Heralds March and Hmas Perth

oddschecker Verdict

HMAS PERTH can open his account at the third time of asking. Runner-up at Doncaster on his most recent start, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt had previously run well on debut when third in a decent maiden at the Galway Festival. Holding entries in several upcoming Group 1 features, the son of Justify can land this before having his sights raised. Wo Wo Never shaped with promise on his introduction at Gowran before running respectably in a Listed contest on his only subsequent start and this looks easier. Naas fifth Cracks And Sparks kept on well on that occasion having been slowly away, so better can be expected now. The well-bred Paraguay could also figure.

Prediction: 1st Hmas Perth, 2nd Wo Wo Never, 3rd Cracks And Sparks
