Curraheen Park Race Fields - 11th Jan 2025

SIRIUS BRAVO (trap 5) is the one that takes the eye in this contest in the hope he can negotiate the opening turns without any serious grief. Don't be put off by the fact that Blanc (trap 6) lacks a wealth of track knowledge as he can come forward. Romantic Boxer (trap 2) has a strong following and those fans will probably be sniffing around again.

The anticipation is high concerning the chances of KNOCKGLASS WILD (trap 1) against this company and he is not the sort to go letting the side down. Wishful Peggy (trap 5) is a big threat even if having scant course knowledge to call upon. Runners have been known to rocket from the four-box, making Ferryforth Wild (trap 4) a runner.

OLL THE DOLL (trap 3) can be expected to take the chequered flag first in this contest providing she doesn't get in a pickle early doors. Millridge Mal (trap 1) will be setting his sights on the top loot but the selection may have other ideas. Crafty Fritto (trap 6) still has a few things to learn about the track.

The tide can turn in the favour of DIEGO KRYPTONITE (trap 6) as he should just need to avoid the rough seas early on to account for these rivals. There should be a few ripples in the ring for Quivers Drama (trap 3), who can certainly make a play for gold. Senahel Beauty (trap 5) has little margin for error, but can get involved if minimising errors.

This looks as straightforward as it gets so far as BROKEN BUTTONS (trap 1) is concerned and she can have the measure of these rivals with plenty to spare. Vernons George (trap 5) makes plenty of appeal donning the orange vest and can run these close. Odell Abby (trap 6) would have enhanced claims if avoiding a nudge from the five.

There is likely to be plenty of confidence surrounding PERONYS ZERO (trap 3) in the market today and, if things go to form, it should be justified. Kilane Lady (trap 5) has little margin for error from this trappy slot, but is a threat if cheating it. Rockbay Buddy (trap 6) can deliver a solid run and be in contention at the death.

HOLLYHILL PAD (trap 1) should soon be involved against these rivals and it'll be disappointing if he doesn't fulfil a major role. The biggest threat could come from Danzig Rebel (trap 2) even though the draw isn't that good. Father Jack (trap 5) is one of several possibles, especially if getting the rub of the green.

SATIN TANGO (trap 1) is obviously the one they all have to beat and it should be a case of all aboard the skylark if she gets the run of the race. Filibustor (trap 3) needs to avoid a nudge from the neighbours early on but looks talented enough. Many will give a chance to Danish Ruby (trap 5) as she can go well if avoiding the trouble spots.

MILLRIDGE ZARA (trap 5) is well worthy of support and she rates one of the day's bankers. On form, she looks a cut above these and will hopefully prove it on the track. The ace location is a benefit to Droopys Glamour (trap 6) and she could engage earlier as a result of it. The percentage play is to include Acoustic Belle (trap 4) in combination wagers.

It's easy to be taken by BOHERMORE BLUE (trap 2) in this field and she gets the vote for sure. With a decent start, she should soon be in a winning position. Hilight Rachel (trap 5) is expected to be in the mix when it comes to the line and could provide the forecast. Quivers Champers (trap 6) is suggested for tricast money, while the others have a fair bit to do.
