Curragh Race 5 - Mental Health Matters Fillies Maiden
SIGNORA (11) was clearly held in high regard to contest a G3 on debut last May finishing a very respectful 2.5L third. Followed up with a midfield effort at Royal Ascot. Lots to like on pedigree too and will take beating. GIRL BEAR (7) delivered a promising third in a 1400m maiden at Galway making her sole juvenile start (soft). Standard improvement will see her contending here. Oasis Dream filly POLLENCA (9) went unnoticed in the market when running fourth making Dundalk debut two months back. In the mix. FEEL THE LOVE (5) is the pick of the newcomers with G1 winners in the family. Much respected.

Four-year-old filly who is first starter by Churchill out of Gift Dancer. Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.

Four-year-old filly (Far Above - Valen) at the races for the first time. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation second last of 9 at Fairyhouse September 22 over 1408m, 17 len behind Utmost Good Faith carrying 51kg at $81. First up last campaign tenth of 12 at Naas August 24 over 1207m, 19 len behind Dawn Romance with 58kg at $251. This looks a stern test.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 4th of 14 at Dundalk All Weather on January 9 over 1609m, 3 len behind Blanc De Blanc with 55.5kg at $67. This is an ideal race to kick off. Much better for that experience.

Resuming after a nine months break. Finished off last campaign ninth of 17 at Ascot in the G3 Albany Stakes June 20 over 1207m, 6 len behind Venetian Sun with 58kg at $2.90. On debut third in a small field at Naas in the G3 May 18 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Lady Iman with 58kg at $13. Should come back bigger and better this prep.
