Curragh 5.25

 

A nice competitive handicap where many have chances but three stood out.

 

I will just pass over He Knows No Fear who won last time, is in fine fettle but may just have copped a bit too much from the handicapper.

 

The pair I most like from powerful yards ate BOPEDRO for Jessie. A Course and Distance winner with a nice draw, well handicapped a pound below the CD winning mark and looks sure to run well with no excuses in optimum conditions.

 

AGITARE may be top weight and possibly not a great handicap mark but a horse with a touch of Class and has had some decent course runs in higher grade off equivalent marks around 100. The fact it gets in here off a mark of 95 suggests it may be a little ignored and off the radar and some canny placement. I'm willing to take that chance with an investment.
