Curragh Race 6 - Keeneland Phoenix Stakes (Group 1)

Aidan O'Brien domination of this race can continue with SUN GODDESS (7). She advanced on her second at Royal Ascot in the G3 Albany Stakes over 1200m when gaining a 0.75L win in the G2 Balanchine during June. Tried again tackling same track and trip. Leading player on form and looks a top-class prospect. CELERON (2) was mightily impressive in his 3L G2 Railway Stakes outing over course and distance last month. Key contender on that evidence with improvement expected. FOLSOM BLUES (3) is back in journey after a 1.25L second attempting the G3 Tyros Stakes last month. Needs more but not ruled out. KING OF CLOUGHAN (4) and CARRY THE FLAG (1) are also considered.

Before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Ascot LR Windsor Castle Stakes June 17 over 1207m defeating Moonrise carrying 58kg at $34. Must respect.
