Easy Razzle, a standout performer with a victory in the Munster Oaks and a notable runner-up in the Irish Laurels greyhound final at Curraheen Park, is poised to secure success in the Elite Contracting Open 575-yard stake, offering a €5,000 prize at Curraheen Park.
Trained by John Linehan and owned by Barry Rocks, Easy Razzle has demonstrated impressive form, winning both round heats with exceptional all-round pace. The greyhound's powerful performance, coupled with a favourable draw, positions her as the favourite to lead down the outside of the track. Clocking the fastest time at 30.89 last week, Eazy Razzle is the one to beat.
Champion trainer Graham Holland's entry, Gaytime Hugo, presents
a strong challenge despite a subpar performance last week. Judged on a previous winning run around the course and distance in 30.83, Gaytime Hugo remains a talented contender. Orchid Legacy, under the guidance of trainer Patrick Barrett, is another formidable competitor, showcasing promise in the Denis Linehan Solicitors Unraced Stake and securing a notable 30.92 victory last week.
In the Springmount Kennels A2 550 final, Haughty Izzy, handled by Anne O'Brien and Frank Clune, is expected to put on a strong performance after a convincing win last week in 30.20. Facing tougher competition, Naughty Izzy aims for back-to-back victories. Fifteen Bold, with a rapid 30.25 clocking in the previous week, poses a threat and is drawn advantageously under the care of Eamonn Morton.
Graham Holland's Riverside Shari is a strong contender for the fourth race, displaying promising form even in defeat on debut. Move To Soon, trained by Kieran Lynch, seeks to overcome a clock deficit from the previous week with a track advantage. Noel Casey Carrigoon Mac, the standout performer in the opening round with a winning run in 28.41, is likely to be a formidable force in the upcoming competition.
