Curragh Race 5 - Coolmore Auguste Rodin Irish European Breeders Fund Athasi Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)
Aidan O'Brien trains DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (4) who made an immediate impression winning as favourite on debut tackling 1609m at Naas six weeks ago. Open to plenty of improvement and can take the next step to make it two from two. BLACK CAVIAR GOLD (2) disappointed when ninth fresh at Leopardstown attempting 1408m as favourite beaten 9L. Rise in trip might spark a better showing. SINMARA (9) broke through in style at Gowran Park contesting 1609m by 6L and remains lightly raced with further upside. KILLASHEE WARRIOR (6) was sound when fourth resuming at Leopardstown beaten 6L and might be fitter now.
