Cork Race 1

Welcome To Cork Racecourse Mallow Maiden

Prize Money: $31,365

TASHAKOUR (8) wasn't disgraced in two juvenile maidens last summer at the Curragh over 1400m. Ran with promise on heavy ground making seasonal return at Navan in March. Open to any amount of improvement and with a fitness edge could prove hard to beat. NIL BUA GAN DUA (4) ran in some very warm races after finishing a close fourth on debut. Given a lofty rating by the assessor. Should be able to win a maiden and rates a player. SUSPICIOUS MINDZ (7) ran well to be third at listed level last year. Warrants thought. CHAMONIX (1) is the stablemate of the second mentioned and looks more of a long term project.
