G3 – 1200m – Turf

1

Burning Pine

Jockey Joel Rosario never had to get serious with her when she led throughout to win over 900m on dirt at Keeneland in April. Her trainer thinks she’ll like a turf surface.

2

California Dreamer

A well regarded filly who was just beaten as an odds-on favourite at Dundalk on her debut, looking to find that 1000m too sharp. Then ran a close third in a G3 at Naas.

3

Convo

Won a 900m Saint-Cloud maiden on her debut and also second in a heavy ground Listed event at Chantilly this month. Facing likely faster ground and up in trip.

4

Cradle Of Love

Three similar placed performances in Irish maiden company. Looked like scoring at Listowel this month, until one rival proved too strong.

5

Fairy Godmother

Progressed from her first start to swoop late and win a G3 over this trip at Naas in May. She not only looks to have class, but this demanding 1200m should suit nicely.

6

Heavens Gate

Has looked smart on both starts, especially when – prominent throughout – she comfortably beat ten rivals in a 1200m maiden at the Curragh last month.

7

Hot Darling

Has won both starts in France this year, first at Chantilly and then in Listed company at Vichy, narrow but quite convincing wins on slow ground. Should be fine up to 1200m.

8

Jayvee

Missed the break but still managed to win over 1000m at Beverley on her debut. Outpaced in stronger company at York, looking ready for the rise to this 1200m trip.

9

Kylie Of Lochalsh

Did make some progress after a slow start when fourth in a six-runner maiden over 1000m here in May. Would be a shock winner.

10

Liberalised

From a stable strong on 2yo talent and who have also won this before. She quickened nicely to win a maiden event over a similar trip to this at Hamilton this month.

11

Mountain Breeze

This well-bred filly has had this on her agenda since she won at Newmarket on her debut, in May. Then showed a professional attitude to easily win again there and at this trip. Chance.

12

Nad Alshiba Snow

Two quite encouraging runs, latterly when making headway into fourth after being slowly away at Beverley. Up sharply in class and up to 1200m this time.

13

Peregrine Falcon

Had won a barrier trial prior to her debut, then led for much of the trip in a 1200m Fairyhouse maiden this month, just fading into third late on.

14

Royalty Bay

Created a very favourable impression on her only start, slow from the gates but quickening nicely to win over this trip on slow ground at Ripon last month.

15

Simmering

Well supported for her debut, over this trip at York last month. She travelled strongly there before tiring to finish third. The winner boosted the form with a later G3 win.

16

Substitute

Too swift for six rivals on her career debut at Ripon but failed to build on that when an odds-on favourite back on the same track on softer ground. She’s a small filly.

17

Twafeeg

Quickly recovering from an awkward start, she showed lots of pace to beat 11 rivals in a Doncaster maiden event early this month. No trip worries.
