Curragh Race 4 - Alpha Centauri Debutante Stakes (Fillies' Group 2)
ALPHA (1) placed on Leopardstown debut under Wayne Lordan. Subsequently won her maiden here prior to a head success in the Silver Flash Stakes G3 at Leopardstown. Hard to oppose providing hat-trick bid. DANCING DESTINY (3) made it two from five when always doing enough in the Irish EBF Listed Stakes at Naas finishing strongly. Just denied when runner-up to main selection latest. Rates highly. GREEN EMPRESS (4) battled hard for second in the G2 Balanchine Stakes here last time. Improvement likely third-up. Thereabouts. IBELIEVEICANFLY (5) looked classy when off the mark here thirteen-days-ago. Might feature.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by a head in the G3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown on July 23 over 1408m defeating Dancing Destiny carrying 58kg at $1.20. The race before that favourite; scored a big 6 len win at this track on June 28 over 1408m defeating Ibelieveicanfly carrying 58kg at $1.70. In form and certainly worth following up.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field in the G3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown on July 23 over 1408m, head behind Alpha with 58kg at $21. The race before that won by 0.8 len in the LR PAT SMULLEN STAKES at Naas on July 4 over 1609m defeating Sarah's Choice with 54kg at $6. Hard to fault and can go on with it.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, 2nd of 9 at this track on May 24 over 1207m, 5 len behind Sun Goddess carrying 58kg at $34. Second-up 2nd in a small field in the G2 Balanchine (Airlie Stud) Stakes at this track on June 27 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Sun Goddess with 58kg at $10. Coming along nicely and is one of the main chances.
