Curragh 5:10 Result

Thundering On carries the highest OR (117) in the field by some margin and her form figures (2-2114) show progressive improvement culminating in a recent win. She's by Frankel out of a Night Of Thunder mare, a pedigree that stays 1m2f well, and Ryan Moore's booking for Joseph O'Brien is a clear stable confidence signal - Moore doesn't get on inferior stock in Group company. The 78-day break is a minor concern but O'Brien's yard is adept at placing fillies fresh for black-type targets, and her rating advantage over this field (next best around 113) suggests she should cope with a step up in class. Red Letter (110 OR) is the obvious market rival with solid recent form (3-3236) for Lyons/Keane, a in-form yard, but her rating is inferior and she's yet to prove she can find the extra to beat this calibre. Timeforshowcasing (113 OR) is interesting having won last time but the 3yo filly form figures suggest she's just below the leading pair. Jennifer Jane and Symbol Of Majesty both have solid but not spectacular figures. Overall Thundering On's rating edge, upward trajectory, and top jockey booking make her the standout on ratings and market logic alike - she should start favourite and the case for her is substantive rather than just being top of the market.
