chased leaders, 4th halfway, no threat from over 2f out
chased leaders, 3rd halfway, wide entering straight, soon no extra
made all, stretched clear early straight, pushed out from over 1f out, diminishing lead well inside final furlong but comfortably held rival
towards rear, went 3rd entering straight, ridden to go moderate 2nd 1 1/2f out, stayed on well inside final furlong without reaching winner
tracked leader in 2nd, no impression on winner from early straight, moderate 3rd and no extra from 1 1/2f out
Another poor turnout for this reasonable prize but it hands an ideal opportunity for GEMSTONE to get off the mark. The Galileo filly attracted little support on her debut behind stablemate Together at Leopardstown last week but ran reasonably enough and will have come on a bundle for the experience. Zvonareave made her debut here last week and performed with credit behind Obrigada. She is also certain to do better and looks a major threat while Obrigada's trainer Kevin Prendergast is represented by the beautifully-bred Danehill Dancer filly Kissable, whose dam was unbeaten in two starts including a Listed success at the Curragh.
