Irish Stallion Farms EBF Salsabil Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)

Off time: 15:40 | Winning time: 2m 6.86s

Bloom²⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A P O'Brien

6/1

Wootton Bassett filly who showed benefit of debut experience when getting on top late in the day in a 16-runner Gowran maiden (1m) in September. Further increase in trip promises to suit and there's better to come this year.

Form: 71-

Camino Vino¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rory Cleary| T: G P Cromwell

22/1

Invincible Spirit filly who justified good support and looked above average in the process when making a winning debut at Dundalk (1m) in December, staying on to lead near line. Very much the type to improve for all this represents a significant step up in class.

Form: 1-

Chasing Paradise²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| D

4/1

Showed clear promise when second in 1m maiden at Leopardstown and confirmed she's ready for rise in class when scoring on return in a 1¼m maiden at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. One to consider.

Form: 2-1

(4)

Emmeleia²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 92

4/1

Camelot filly. Sister to useful middle-distance winner Puppet Master. Built on a promising second after 6 months off when landing 9-runner maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) 24 days ago. Still green then and highly likely there's more to come.

Form: 2-1

Ice Dancer¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 92

7/2

Made it second time lucky in a Gowran maiden (1m) last summer and matched that form when third in a Curragh Group 3 in October. From a family that tend to improve with age and this step up to 1¼m looks firmly in her favour with Ryan Morre aboard.

Form: 013-

Minerva^p¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 102

11/1

Frankel filly who has plenty of experience on her side and she made most of a good opportunity back down in grade when landing 13-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7f) in October. Fully expected to hold her own back up in grade tackling this longer trip for the first time.

Form: 922431-

(5)

Thundering On¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| BF

11/4

Promising Frankel filly much improved from debut when pulling clear with useful rival in Group 3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (1m) in October. Resumed with a close second in maiden at Leopardstown (1m) 2 weeks ago and she's one to consider back up in trip/class.

Form: 42-2

Forecasts

Thundering On (11/4), Ice Dancer (7/2), Emmeleia (4/1), Chasing Paradise (4/1), Bloom (6/1), Minerva (11/1), Camino Vino (22/1)

A tricky renewal of this Group 3 but it could well be significant that Ryan Moore takes the ride on ICE DANCER of the trio representing Ballydoyle, with this step up to 1¼m looking sure to suit on return to action. Thundering On and Chasing Paradise could be the dangers.
