Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (Plus 10)

Off time: 15:23 | Winning time: 1m 12.15s

(14)

Allez Allez Allez

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

12/1

€125,000 yearling. Invincible Spirit colt out of an unraced mare who has produced five time winner Roaring Forties. Pedigree has winning ability in it and not to be underestimated for strong yard.

Form:

(9)

Clog Na Fola

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: G Elliott

33/1

Sir Prancealot filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Enjoy The Silence but hails from a yard who haven't had a juvenile winner this season so is probably best watched.

Form:

(12)

Deidra¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Leigh Roche| T: M O'Callaghan

5/2

Improving filly. Put up career best with solid second at Cork (6f, good) on latest start. Should have more to offer and is the one to beat.

Form: 962

(16)

Dragon Flight⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J F Hassett

66/1

Twice raced filly who hasn't featured in both starts. Distant 10th in 6f Listowel maiden on first start for this yard. Drastic improvement required here.

Form: 70

(3)

Elfin Queen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

9/1

$1.2million American Pharaoh filly. Half-sister to various top level winners including 1m2f US Grade 1 winner Cupid. Likely to have a lofty reputation for top yard so worth a market check.

Form:

(8)

Franno

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: G Keane

33/1

Free Eagle filly. Half-sister to three winners including three-time winner Pleasure Bent and 6f winner Azhar. Entitled to betting support but may be more of a long-term prospect.

Form:

(10)

French Secret¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: D Bunyan & G O'Leary

100/1

French Navy filly. Offered no impression on debut when down the field 11th in 7f Down Royal maiden at the end of August. Hard to fancy for a yard who have been struggling this term.

Form: 0

Holy Eleanor^b1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery

66/1

Didn't show the expected progression from debut effort when 14L eighth in 7f Tipperary maiden last time. Form of that looks weak and could be one for handicaps in the future.

Form: 98

(2)

Love Locket

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien

10/3

No Nay Never filly who cost a hefty €700,000 at the sales. Half-sister to the smart Rakhib Alhawa and dam was a winner over 1m4f. Looks to be the number one string on jockey bookings.

Form:

(13)

Lynn Britt Cabin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack

20/1

Dark Angel filly who was a €160,000 purchase as a yearling. Dam was unraced but is a sister to juvenile winner La La Land. Merits a betting check.

Form:

(20)

Pikaia⁷⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C P Hoban| T: Mrs D Foster

50/1

Twice-raced filly who looked so seemingly regress when 10L sixth in 7f maiden at this track on latest start. More needed against some good-looking rivals.

Form: 86

(17)

Rosemill²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gearoid Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: D O'Shea

100/1

Anjaal filly. Dwelt and offered little promise on debut when 12th (tailed off) in 7f Tipperary maiden. Readily opposed.

Form: 0

(18)

Sankari Del Reine

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: S Lavery

25/1

Dandy Man filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Jose Echegary and juvenile winner Sankari Royale. Has a likeable pedigree but may be a project than an instant winner.

Form:

(19)

Stellify¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness

100/1

Down the field in two starts to date, including latest when slow start cost any small chance with 16th in extended 5f Navan contest. Best watched for now.

Form: 00

Sunday Sweet¹¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: P Twomey

2/1

Elzaam filly. Slow start didn't help but ran respectable race to finish fourth in Curragh maiden (6f) in May. Not seen since but that race looks strong (winner went on to win a Group Two) so must be respected.

Form: 4

(1)

Switzer²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J M Oxx

50/1

Tailed off in two starts on the track, including 13L sixth in Tipperary maiden (7f) 20 days ago. Others offer more appeal.

Form: 06

(15)

Watergrange Fairy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary

100/1

Sintarajan filly. Dam was unraced but closely related to the smart Desert Realm. May be vulnerable to more progressive types on debut.

Form:

(7)

Wild Cherry

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane

50/1

Filly by Epaulette. Pedigree offers not much appeal but is a half-sister to 1m2f winner Less Of That. Best watched for now.

SUNDAY SWEET ran a fantastic race on debut to finish fourth despite fluffing her lines at the start. The winner was Albigna who has subsequently won a Curragh Group Two so the form line is incredibly strong and she has been given time to mature for this contest. Two expensive Aidan O'Brien fillies in Elfin Queen and Love Locket hold lofty reputations but his horses normally come on for the run and have pedigree to suggest that a step up in distance will be needed, while Allez Allez Allez has an eye-catching pedigree and hails from a yard who have been excelling with juveniles this season.
