The first selection of the day from us on Saturday at The Curragh is Shinkansen for Donnacha O'Brien in the six furlongs Maiden.
The two year old son of Caravaggio was bought for €110,000 and made his debut at Cork on yielding ground and managed to give a good account of himself when staying on well to finish fifth.
On Saturday he is getting much quicker ground and should be a lot more streetwise to the task at hand getting experience from his debut run.
This is Caravaggio's first season as a sire and if like some of his other offsprings all ready this season, this lad could be very smart.
