Curragh Race 4 - Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes (Fillies' & Mares' Group 3)
RED LETTER (6) won a maiden at the course around this time last year. Runner-up in a Listed affair at Navan in June before justifying heavy favouritism to go one better in a similar contest at Killarney. Major player. SAND GAZELLE (7) made all to regain the winning thread in a valuable Listed race at York last month. Respected down in distance. BARNAVARA (3) followed up a Listed victory at Navan with a game 1L success in a Naas G3. Shortlist. AZADA (2) enters calculations in first-time cheekpieces for a yard that took this race last year.
