Galway Race 4 - Irish Ebf Median Sires Series Fillies Mdn
KATIRAYA (8) registered her best effort in two starts to date running 7L fifth over 1408m at The Curragh a month ago. Taken to break through for a win. LUNAR EMPRESS (4) demonstrated plenty of ability in three starts to date including registering a 4L fourth tackling 1408m at Naas. Bold show expected. CHURCHILL BOND (1) came home 4.5L fifth competing in a large field 1408m maiden restricted to fillies at Naas. Strong prospects. Saxon Warrior filly SHENATA (9) produced a good effort placing 5.25L third trying 1408m at Gowran Park six weeks ago. Open to improvement providing the third outing of her career.
