Gowran Park Race 3

Irish Ebf (C & G) Mdn (Smullen Series)

Prize Money: $46,125

ALBANY COUNTY (2) cost plenty of money as a foal being a close relation to the high class Mother Earth who was successful for these connections. Holds ability and should be more than good enough to land a maiden win at the third attempt. BREATH OF PARADISE (4) managed to take a step forward at the Curragh last time when stepping up to 1800m finishing third at a big price. Should have a future in handicaps and is one to consider. MOUNT MERU (8) comes from an interesting pedigree for his breeders and is by exciting new sire Baaeed. Market will guide. PIRATE OF PENZANCE (10) has one of the best pedigrees in this race and rates a player.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, 4th of 10 at Curragh on August 16 over 1810m, 1.75 len behind Zarak Pasha carrying 58kg at $26. Last start 2nd of 13 at Curragh on August 29 over 1609m, 7 len behind Darkness Falls carrying 59.5kg at $4.50. Has improvement to come and is likely to run well again.
