Rickrack⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 94

Jaega⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W J Lee| T: D K Weld| OR: 104| BF

6/1

Justified favouritism in a Leopardstown maiden before finishing second in a Group 3 contest at The Curragh in May. Well held as beaten favourite in the Group 3 Munster Oaks since but looks a leading contender with conditions to suit.

Form: 125

Julienne²⁷

50/1

Winner of her maiden only last month at Tipperary before going down by 14L on handicap debut at the Curragh recently. Big ask stepping up in grade.

Form: 00-215

(8)

Ship Of Dreams^b1,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 100

10/3

Solid and consistent filly running at Group and Listed level over the summer who gives her all but is always liable to bump in to one of two progressing at a quicker rate.

Form: 654332

Forecasts

Ship Of Dreams (10/3), Beautiful Morning (9/2), Panstarr (5/1), Jaega (6/1), Broadway (8/1), Hence (8/1), Espere (12/1), Snowy Winter (20/1), Rickrack (20/1), Erin (40/1), Julienne (50/1)

The Dermot Weld-trained JAEGA did not appear to appreciate the good to firm conditions or the trip at Cork in June but can bounce back here on this ground and over this distance here to land the valuable Group 3 from the expected challenge of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Broadway and Joseph O'Briens interesting Ship Of Dreams in first-time blinkers
