Naas Race 7 - Darley Irish EBF Naas Oaks Trial Stakes (Fillies' Listed)
MIXED FEELINGS (5) returned to action securing an impressive 6L victory in a 1609m maiden at Leopardstown last month. Taken to complete a double stepping up in distance.. ERETRIA (2) built on a promising debut second at Dundalk gaining a 6.5L success over 2011m at Leopardstown. Leading contender. RIVER ARA (7) failed to shine registering a 9.75L tenth in the 1408m G3 Priory Belle Stakes at Leopardstown making her seasonal reappearance. Strong claims of doubling her career tally stepping up in journey. ICE DANCER (3) is another to consider despite disappointing running last of seven in the 2011m G3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 9 at Dundalk All Weather on April 1 over 2112m, 0.8 len behind Emmeleia with 58.5kg at $4.30. Second-up won by 6 len at Leopardstown April 15 over 2011m defeating Sangreal carrying 58.5kg at $3.50. Brings the right form to the table. In form and certainly worth following up.

Second-up. First-up after six months ran last of 7 at Navan in the G3 SALSABIL STAKES on April 25 over 2011m, 25 len behind Thundering On with 58kg at $4.50. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Gowran Park September 20 over 1609m in heavy going defeating Noble Honour with 58kg at $1.80. Looks hard to beat in this easier level.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at Curragh in the G3 October 21 over 1609m, on rain affected going; 17 len behind Sugar Island with 58kg at $12. On debut fourth of 8 at Leopardstown July 10 over 1408m, 2.5 len behind Phenomenal Filly carrying 58kg at $5.50. Looks a strong top-three prospect in this grade.

Third race start. Promising on debut ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 at Gowran Park on September 20 over 1609m, in the wet; 1.0 len behind Ice Dancer carrying 58kg at $15. Returned from break favourite; won by 6 len at Leopardstown April 15 over 1609m defeating Bang Bang with 58.5kg at $2.10. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.
