Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden
7f 187y
Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneCHICAGO SOLDIER has done little wrong in his three outings thus far and can make the breakthrough for Ebor winners Johnny Murtagh and Ben Coen. Beaten fractions in a blanket finish on debut at the Curragh, the Declaration Of War colt was outclassed but not disgraced in Group 3 company next time and was just nabbed close home on his first try over this distance at Leopardstown earlier this month. Nawraq gets more than a stone from the selection and looks a danger having been just touched off by Rerouting at Gowran. The winner ran well in a Stakes race at Sandown on Saturday and Nawraq, who made the running last time, has the inside draw to work with. Having been outstayed over seven furlongs when beaten a head on her second start, Butterfly Island found six too short last time and now takes her chance over this easy mile. Gabbys Girl has twice finished runner-up at Leopardstown and is another to consider stepping up in trip on her first outing away from the County Dublin venue.
