Park Hill on Marjurie agenda
Tuesday 25 August 2015 17:53, UK
The Prix Vermeille at Longchamp and the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster are the two races under consideration for Miss Marjurie next month following a fine effort in the Yorkshire Oaks.
Denis Coakley's mare has enjoyed a fine campaign so far, winning a Listed prize at Goodwood and the Group Three Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock.
She finished a close-up third in the Lancashire Oaks on her next start and ran right up to her best when fifth in her Group One debut on the Knavesmire.
Coakley feels the result may have been even better on a sounder surface and is keen to give her one more run before a likely appearance on Champions Day at Ascot in October.
"I was delighted with how she ran, especially as she didn't really like the ground. It was too sticky for her," said the trainer.
"We'll look at the Park Hill and she's also in the Prix Vermeille. Hopefully, we'll get more suitable ground somewhere.
"After that the plan is to go for the Qipco race (British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes) at Ascot."
