Curragh 15:40 - w/o Carla Ridge and Dancing Saxon

oddschecker Verdict

A runaway winner of this race 12 months ago, CARLA RIDGE can follow up. Far from disgraced when sixth in a better contest at Leopardstown in May, the Eddie and Patrick Harty-trained filly has been absent since. With the stable only recently back amongst the winners having been hit with a virus for much of the year, the daughter of New Bay has to be given maximum respect. While her lack of a recent outing is an obvious cause for concern, this race is likely to have always been the target. Royal Bay Cen should be all the sharper for a recent run at this venue while, Dancing Saxon is another with leading claims.

Prediction: 1st Carla Ridge, 2nd Royal Bay Cen, 3rd Dancing Saxon
