Naas Race 2 - Arqana Irish Ebf Marwell Stakes (Fillies' Listed)
CARDIFF BY THE SEA (1) is promising. Placed on debut before finishing fourth attempting the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Ascot over 1005m. Leading contender eased in standard. HAVANA ANNA (3) impressively scored by 6L over course and distance most recently. Warrants serious consideration. LAM YAI (5) made all to prevail comfortably tackling 1005m at Carlisle on latest appearance. Not dismissed. IPANEMA QUEEN (4) might fill fourth spot.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Ripon June 18 over 1005m defeating Novelette carrying 58kg at $2.90. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Catterick on June 10 over 1005m, 1.5 len behind Desert Jungle carrying 58kg at $1.60. Must respect.

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by 6 len at this track June 25 over 1005m defeating Dawn Romance with 58kg at $1.40. The run before that 2nd of 10 at Cork on June 13 over 1207m, neck behind Suzie Songs with 58kg at $3.10. In form and expected to measure up again.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, won by 5.5 len at Curragh May 23 over 1207m defeating Later Than Planned carrying 54.5kg at $4.50. Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 11th of 17 at Ascot in the G3 Albany Stakes on June 20 over 1207m, 7 len behind Venetian Sun with 58kg at $11. Hard to fault on her best form - among the chances.

Last start won by 2.75 len at Carlisle June 25 over 1005m in soft going defeating She's Divine with 58kg at $3.80. In form and looks a top chance again.

Third race start today. At debut, won by a head at Listowel June 1 over 1307m defeating Luna Mia with 58kg at $8.50. Second-up raced on the pace before fading 14th of 17 at Ascot in the G3 Albany Stakes on June 20 over 1207m, 12 len behind Venetian Sun with 58kg at $126. Happy to risk.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 17th of 23 at Ascot in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes on June 18 over 1005m, 13 len behind True Love carrying 58kg at $41. The run before that won by 7 len at Ripon May 29 over 1207m defeating Baggot Street with 58kg at $1.40. Better than the last run suggests and deserves another chance.
