Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden

Coolbawn Magic¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Gavin Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Donohoe

25/1

Daughter of Camacho and a half-sister to Flat winner Backstreet Fighter. Modest ability in two AW maidens and she may be more of a force when able to go handicapping.

Form: 5-5

(9)

Mijul Trail³⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Gearoid Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: B A Murphy

50/1

Winners in her pedigree but she has only shown limited ability so far and has been absent more than a year.

Form: 60-

Miss O Connor

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane

16/1

Unraced Roderic O'Connor filly related to a winning miler. Looks highly tried on debut but with a good yard and worth noting for the future.

Nuzzles¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy

25/1

Fetched 42.000 gns yearling and related to plenty of winners. Just moderate at Leopardstown in October and at Tipperary on reappearance and hard to see her finding the progress required.

Form: 0-9

Private Jackson²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rory Cleary| T: Jane M Foley

100/1

Filly by Red Jazz out of a Barathea mare. Half-sister to 7f - 1m2f winner Brief Encounter and 1m2½f victor Bomber Jackson, also successful over hurdles. Poorly drawn on last month's debut when only beating one home.

Form: 0

Anya Ylina

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: D K Weld

11/4

Oasis Dream filly with Group and Listed winners in her pedigree. Yard have a 23% strike rate with their three-year-olds here so worth checking if the market expects a bold show from her wide draw.

Autumn Mist¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: J J Murphy

33/1

Filly by Tamayuz out of an Acclamation mare. Dam winner over 5f as a two-year-old and successful over 7f on the AW. Well held on both starts and hard to fancy back in similar company here.

Form: 09

Grinn³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

16/1

20/1 when down the field on her Cork debut. Few clues from that performance that she will be a factor here.

Jillbridge¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: E O'Connell

50/1

Missed the break and was soon outpaced on Galway debut in October. Impossible to fancy on the basis of that effort.

Nan Yehi

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast

2/1

€160,000 Camelot filly related to six winners including Recharge who was successful at Pattern level. Has three Group 1 entries in the diary so definitely one to note in the market.

Romantic Proposal¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: E Lynam

5/2

Belied odds of 33/1 on Cork debut when noted travelling before becoming short of room and then staying on again when her cause was lost. That experience will count for a lot and she sets the standard on that performance.

Form: 3

Sarah Jessica¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Kelly⁽³⁾| T: J P Murtagh

16/1

Has looked one paced on both starts to date. Finds herself in what could out to be a very hot maiden and she may be one for handicaps down the line.

Form: 66

(4)

Vita Veritas³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: J J Murphy

20/1

Camelot filly is closely related to Group 3 winner Ballybakca Lady. Has not looked ready for a race as good as this on her first two starts.

Form: 09

Viva Espana^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Lee| T: C O'Brien

33/1

Cost 37,000 guineas as a yearling. By Lope De Vega out of a Marju mare. Dam was a French 1mf - 1m3½f winner, half-sister to Group 1 winner Vazirabad. Looks a long term prospect having finished last of 17 on debut.

Form: 0

Sagittarian Wind³⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: M Halford

25/1

€52,000 Iffraaj filly related to multiple winners. Last of ten on debut and will be in a hotter race here if getting in as first reserve.

Forecasts

Nan Yehi (2/1), Romantic Proposal (5/2), Anya Ylina (11/4), Magic Fountain (9/2), Miss O Connor (16/1), Sarah Jessica (16/1), Grinn (16/1), Vita Veritas (20/1), Coolbawn Magic (25/1), Nuzzles (25/1), Sagittarian Wind (25/1), Viva Espana (33/1), Autumn Mist (33/1), Newgirlintown (33/1), Mijul Trail (50/1), Jillbridge (50/1), Private Jackson (100/1)

Nan Yehi and Magic Fountain are nicely bred and are entered up accordingly for Group 1 races later in the year. However, those entries also suggest this trip may be on the short side so the vote goes to ROMANTIC PROPOSAL who looked a nice filly on her debut when showing a high cruising speed before getting trapped on the fence at a crucial point. Dermot Weld's debutante Anya Ylina is related to Group/Listed winners but the widest draw of all is not helpful.
