Eleuthera and Motheerah were engaged in the 8.10 at the Curragh last night. STRANGE TIMES is in excellent form and was only narrowly beaten here three weeks ago before another fine run at the Curragh. Her rider's claim can enable her to get off the mark at the 11th attempt. She's In The Game finished just in front of her in that Curragh event but the weights greatly favour Tracey Collins' filly this time. The three-year-old Harry's Hill tackles older horses for the first time with plenty of weight while course and distance winner It's All A Joke is inconsistent, though would have a chance on his best form.
