Curragh Race 3 - Grand Hotel Malahide Irish European Breeders Fund Fillies Juvenile Race
FAIRY OAK (1) scored by a neck a maiden attempting 1307m at Leopardstown last time. Sparingly raced and looks capable of going back-to-back. YELLOWSTONE LAKE (6) was beaten a neck by the main selection on debut at Leopardstown. Promising and likely to improve. JUSTICIAR (2) placed 1.3L second debuting over course and distance. Warrants consideration. MINERVA (3) rates each-way.
