Naas Race 3 - Coolmore Stud Blackbeard Tipperary Stakes (Listed)
CARRY THE FLAG (2) maintains smart form already however finished a disappointing ninth after being well supported in the G2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot a fortnight ago. This is easier and will take beating. BIG NEGOTIATOR (7) finished down field in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot when adopting a set of first time cheekpieces. Better expected. MATRIARCHAL (10) was poor at Lingfield Park having won at Navan in May. Looks booked for place claims at best. BRAZILIAN DIVA (8) finally got off the mark here a week ago and should kick on from that performance. Worth giving close consideration.

Had two starts to date. At debut, ran last of 8 at Navan on April 25 over 1207m, 14 len behind Tribeca carrying 60.5kg at $17. Second-up 2nd of 7 at this track on May 9 over 1005m, head behind Carry The Flag with 60.5kg at $81. Likely to find this out of reach.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 6th of 9 at Navan on June 7 over 1005m, 7 len behind Cleodolinda with 58kg at $51. Looking to others.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since she finished last in a small field at Curragh April 19 over 1005m, soft track; 16 len behind Star Prospect carrying 57kg at $15. On debut second in a small field at Dundalk All Weather March 27 over 1005m, 4.5 len behind Maria Quiteria with 56kg at $6. Looks tested in this field.
