Cork Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Firville Stakes (Fillies' Listed)
MAIRE RUA (9) made the perfect start to her career debuting with a comfortable 2.5L victory over 1408m at Leopardstown. Taken to maintain her unbeaten record. ALWAYSANANGEL (2) backed up a debut win at Fairyhouse with a 0.75L third in the 1207m G2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket. Leading contender. Placing top three all three starts to date MADAM SECRETARY (7) holds strong claims of recording her first win following a 0.75L second contesting a 1408m maiden at Galway. BEIBHINN (3) failed to shine running 12L last of three to a subsequent Group winner in the 1200m G2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly. One to note.

Having third race start. At debut, 5th of 10 at Leopardstown on June 4 over 1408m, 6 len behind Blonde Over Blue with 58kg at $6. Second-up 3rd of 9 at Curragh on July 19 over 1408m, 1.75 len behind Shi Yang with 58kg at $5. Likely to find this out of reach.

Had two starts to date. At debut, won by 3 len at Fairyhouse on July 1 over 1207m defeating Crayons In The Sky with 56kg at $8.50. Second-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 in the G2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket (July) on July 10 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Senorita Bonita with 58kg at $15. Brings the right form to the table. Useful type; bold showing expected.
