1:50 Curragh Tips

Not beaten far over ten furlongs here when fifth in a nineteen horse race and has won over this distance previously. Can gain a second career win here.

Needs a career-best to land the hat-trick, but in current form, could get it. Up to a mile after winning at 6/7f should get it, having won over an extended 7f in the past. Noted jockey booking and has a high draw that could be favored here.

Akecheta has had 10 runs, made a winning debut, and although winless since, this mare has never run a bad race. Since making the switch to handicaps, she has posted 5 good runs on various goings, and the two most recent runs were probably two of her best yet.

Booyea is in stall number 12, which is far from ideal and could make things tricky early, especially going up in trip here after finishing 5th of 7 at Fairyhouse 16 days ago. He won this race last year and is back to the same track and distance where he has a 33% win rate from three runs. Trained by Thomas Gibney and ridden by Rory Whearty, claiming 3lb, he has 23 total runs with 4 wins and 2 places, showing a 17% win rate and 26% place rate. His current mark of 91 looks okay compared to when last winning a handicap, and he enjoys quick ground and runs well fresh. He will need a good pace to run at and should be ridden patiently today. Worth an each-way shout if overcoming the draw here.

Well backed when scored by 4L off 81 at Lingfield in May. Fifth beaten 2L off 85 last time. Quicker ground a plus. Very interesting turned out after 4 days each way.
