Kempton Park Race 3 - Irish Ebf Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
GILDING THE LILY (1) impressed when a 1.25L winner at Newmarket on just the second career start. Represents leading connections and should continue to progress. Carries weight penalty but could prove too classy for this field. STAR MIRAGE (4) struggled in handicaps so far this campaign. Drops back in grade and could find this much more suitable. Rates well on best efforts and may easily bounce back. RIVER NILE (3) stayed on for a 4L third at this track last time. Extra distance here to unlock more and yard are flying at present. Expect a bold showing. MOONTUNE (2) was well beaten when debuting though did catch the eye with how she made late ground. Open to any amount of further progression and is certainly hard to dismiss.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Wolverhampton on July 31 over 1400m, neck behind Star Of Commala carrying 58kg at $4.50. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Newmarket (July) on August 14 over 1600m defeating Date Line with 58kg at $1.40. Heading the right way and is expected to go well again.

Third race start. First start ran second last of 7 at Sandown Park on August 30 2025 over 1400m, slow going 9 len behind Deedaydiva with 58kg at $5.50. Went for a spell before returning held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at this track on August 19 over 1400m, 4 len behind Merry with 58kg at $17. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond her reach.
