Curragh Race 2 - Grand Hotel Malahide Irish European Breeders Fund Fillies Juvenile Race
IBELIEVEICANFLY (6) was well fancied when 2L third in a maiden over course and distance last time. Produced a solid second tackling track and trip previous outing. Represents top connections and worth giving another chance. Looks the one to beat with hood added for the first time. SUOMENLINNA (17) is an interesting newcomer for Donnacha O'Brien. By Too Darn Hot and related to a black type performer. One to watch. ADMIRED BEAUTY (2) was ahead of the main selection on debut. Only beaten 0.5L when second and might improve further. MISS HONG KONG (14) is a stablemate of the second mentioned. Newcomer by Churchill and warrants a market check.

Raced twice to date. At debut, ran second last of 13 at this track on June 28 over 1408m, 16 len behind Alpha carrying 56kg at $17. Second-up 3rd in a small field at Leopardstown on July 16 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Bellesque carrying 56kg at $19. Certainly one to keep safe.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 9 at this track on July 19 over 1408m, 2 len behind Shi Yang with 58kg at $1.30. Before that 2nd of 13 at this track on June 28 over 1408m, 6 len behind Alpha with 58kg at $6. Fleet-footed type who is expected to take some catching.
