10st 2lb |
Didn't make the cut for the amateur handicap over 2m1f at Galway where she ran well in 1m4f handicap at last year's festival; good comeback over 1m5f at Navan in April and missed 1m7f engagement last month due to quick ground; trainer obviously thinks she'll stay and chance under talented claimer if she can get her toe in. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 13lb |
Bit below form on the Flat this summer but has hit the crossbar in her last two hurdle outings and she's unexposed in this sphere having just her sixth hurdle outing; respected. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Five Flat wins in 2023 included over C&D; consistent placed form under both codes this year, most recently making most when just edged out of third by No Niki No at Ballinrobe; should be thereabouts again. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 9y |
9st 9lb |
A second over 1m2f from 2lb higher on good ground at Sligo is sandwiched between two seconds over hurdles, most recently at this track last month; she is a five time winner on the Flat and is 1lb lower than her last winning mark; not discounted |

Outran odds of 125-1 when strong-finishing third in Gowran maiden over 7f; this looks a stronger race so good bit more likely required. |

Outran odds of 125-1 when third of 10 (beaten 3l) at Gowran last month; the extra furlong can only help given her pedigree and she has each-way claims. |

Australia filly; cost 10,000Euros as a yearling; dam unraced sister to 6f Group 3 winner Only Mine; market likely best guide on debut. |

Leopardstown second (7f, good) last summer hasn't been replicated, tame comeback run at Gowran last month on soft; return to better ground may suit but questions to answer at this stage. |

Long-priced second over 7f at Leopardstown last July, failed to reproduce that form later, including when last of ten behind the high-class Victoria Road at this venue; only 2lb behind Astar on official rating, but seems flattered by her mark. |

Front-runner rated 69 after nine starts on the Flat; beaten 1l off that mark in a 1m4f Roscommon handicap (good) on seasonal reappearance last month; finished second in this race last year behind Magical Zoe; unlikely to get an uncontested lead here but she has place claims. |

1m4f Leopardstown maiden winner last summer; subsequent handicap debut run at the Curragh was too bad to be true; more like it when fourth over this trip at Leopardstown on return, not beaten far. |

Verdict
The experience gained by ASTAR at two included a fifth placing in a strong maiden at this venue. She is much preferred to Lan Mara who failed to build on a Leopardstown second on the second of four starts at two. In common with the selection, Sugaree holds an Irish Oaks entry. She may pose a bigger threat than fellow newcomers Stariam and Kermiya. [Alan Sweetman]
