Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden (Plus 10)

Off time: 18:03 | Winning time: -

(10)

Danielles Diamond³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: B Nolan

5/1

Promising type who has improved with each start. Paid for taking a wide course in 7f Leopardstown maiden on latest start when finishing a creditable third. No reason why he couldn't progress again.

Form: 43

Garsman

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan

10/1

Garswood Gelding. Closely related to three-time winners King Of Spain, Nibras again and Six Wives. Plenty of speed in his pedigree and yard have been known to ready one for their first start.

On Tick¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss K Brown

25/1

Ran well on first two starts but well-held of late, including 6L third in 5f Lingfield novice. Looks exposed now and may be vulnerable to other rivals.

Form: 6273

Smart Project

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M A Gallagher| T: K P Cotter

5/1

Cheaply bought for €9,500 as a yearling. By smart juvenile Gutaifan and is a half-brother to 6f winner Camachess. Yard rarely has two-year-old winners so best watched.

Blue Umbrella

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S J Harty

66/1

€12,000 Requinto filly. Half-sister to various winners, including useful Gilt Edge Girl and 5f winner Godfrey Street. Might not be in the same class as some of these rivals however.

Eden Quay

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

5/2

600,000 gns yearling. By No Nay Never and is a full sister to multiple Group One winner Ten Sovereigns. Pedigree is standout on paper and should go well on debut.

Lady Maura⁵⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh

12/1

€300,000 juvenile. Half-sister to notable performer Donjuan Triumphant but bombed out when last of eight in 6f Curragh maiden. Entitled to be better than that.

Form: 8

(2)

Lapses Linguae

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: E Mullins

16/1

€32,000 yearling filly by Dandy Man. Half-sister to 1m4f winner Invernata and 1m2f winner Padoga. Pedigree suggests longer trips will suit and may be a project.

Form:

(3)

Musical Rue¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: W McCreery

33/1

Exceed And Excel filly. Closely related to 6f winner Musical Art but yard has a poor record with juveniles this season. Limited appeal.

Form: 8

(7)

Orihime

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

16/1

Canford Cliffs filly. Dam an unraced daughter of Falbrav and is the first progeny out of her. Betting should guide on debut.

Form:

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 25p in the pound

Forecasts

Eden Quay (5/2), True Motion (3/1), Danielles Diamond (5/1), Smart Project (5/1), Garsman (10/1), Lady Maura (12/1), Lapses Linguae (16/1), Orihime (16/1), On Tick (25/1), Musical Rue (33/1), Blue Umbrella (66/1)

EDEN QUAY looks to be a class above her rivals on paper and given her status as a full sister to superstar sprinter to Ten Sovereigns, she is likely to hold a lofty reputation and has a good opportunity to win in an average-looking contest. Danielles Diamond paid the price for being kept wide last time and his experience could tell but has become a slightly frustrating sort, while Garsman has plenty of speed in his pedigree in this easy 5f could be in his element.
