Curragh Race 3 - Gain Railway Stakes (Group 2)
TRUE LOVE (4) made it third time lucky shedding the maiden tag by 1.25L in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot after placing second behind a talented stablemate. Leading contender racing for a notable yard. LEARNTODISCOVER (1) improved from a third on debut to score by a neck over course and distance providing second career start. Dangerous. PUERTO RICO (3) is a stablemate of the top pick. Finished runner-up to the second choice tackling track and trip. Might reverse placings. POWER BLUE (2) may fill fourth spot.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 31-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.3 len at Ascot G2 Queen Mary Stakes June 18 over 1005m defeating Flowerhead with 58kg at $3.30. The start before that 2nd of 10 at Navan on May 17 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Gstaad with 58kg at $1.40. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.
