Form & Verdict
Justify filly cost E400,000 as a yearling; favourite, luckless debut at Cork in September, slow to break and meeting traffic problems when only sixth; more like it when second in a decent maiden at Leopardstown four weeks ago; winner has since finished second in a Group 3 event at Navan.

9st 3lb

J: Julian Pietropaolo

Placed in seven of her eight races but remains a maiden and becoming very expensive to follow, having been one of the favourites on the last six occasions; ability is respected but drop in trip not sure to suit and can be found wanting under pressure.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Consistent filly with six placed finishes to her name from seven starts but has been a beaten favourite on six occasions; her rating of 83 sets the standard but she has a tendency to fade late on and is proving expensive to follow.

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Holding her form well this term, finished close to the winner in two Gowran fillies' maidens before coming late to chase home a ready all the way winner in a Leopardstown rated race over 1m; too keen on handicap debut at the same track but again ran well back in fillies' maiden company last time when a close third (1m, good); likely underfoot conditions blunt enthusiasm.
