Naas Race 2

Connolly's Red Mills Irish Ebf Auction Novice Hurdle

Prize Money: $36,900

GREY JUDE (1) managed to build on a solid second providing Cork hurdling debut when making all to get off the mark with a gutsy head success at the same venue. Climbs in trip and will prove hard to beat based on that previous outing. DUNLEER CRYSTAL (5) was able to keep on for second attempting a Down Royal maiden hurdle during December. Improvement anticipated up in trip. Main danger. RAISE YOU UP (3) placed providing initial hurdle outing over this kind of distance at the track prior to a 4.25L Limerick maiden hurdle win. Feared. Thurles maiden hurdle winner MULLAGHGLOSS (2) delivered a respectable fourth among better company at Limerick in latest. Might feature.

Comments

Racing well. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Last start favourite; won by 4.5 len Limerick on December 29 over 3822m defeating Burning Ability with 71.5kg at $2.90 in a hurdle. The start before that; finished second of 20 runners at this track on December 15 over 3822m, 7 len behind Open Secret carrying 73kg at $51. Should be prominent and will give a big sight again.

Jumped when unwanted in the market at debut, finished sixth of 11 starters at Thurles on January 18 over 4023m, 19 len behind Hillberry Hill with 72.5kg at $67. Looks tested this line-up. Can't see him improving on fresh performance.

Comes off a 43 day let-up. Last run finished second of 10 runners at Down Royal on December 26 over 3419m, 2.25 len behind Los Blanco with 68.5kg at $23. Start before finished tenth of 15 starters at this track on December 15 over 3218m, 14 len behind Tiktok Casey with 71kg at $19. Continues to make headway. Better run latest but place hope only.
