Form & Verdict

Sea The Stars filly; cost E460,000 as a yearling; ran green on debut at Thurles last October, showed promise with a staying-on third, 3/4l off runner-up Cape Primrose; reversed form with that rival when third behind a longer-priced stablemate at Gowran a month ago.

Third in a soft-ground maiden on reappearance; huge advances in her three starts since, notably when pipped by Earth Shot at Royal Ascot and 4l winner of Irish Oaks at the Curragh (both 1m4f on good to firm); the latter was in smooth style, as she skipped clear over 1f out before Inis Mor ran on into second, while Earth Shot disappointed in sixth; any further improvement would make her a serious rival for the older stars in this race.
