Tipperary Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Maiden
STELLA ALPINA (9) finished second in three of her six attempts so far this season. Headed on the line in a 1207m Cork maiden most recently and this drop in trip might unlock further improvement. Good claims. QUATRAIN (6) drops sharply in distance after finishing third over 1609m. Interesting with first-time blinkers added. VIAMONTE (3) made the frame among maiden and handicap company over this distance past two outings. Rates a solid each-way chance. BENNU (1) was held delivering his only start. Absent for 770 days and possessing an excellent pedigree a market check advised.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 12th of 20 at Curragh on June 27 over 1609m, 7 len behind Moonhall Church with 57.5kg at $26. Second run from a spell 3rd in a small field at Killarney on July 15 over 1609m, 2 len behind Shania carrying 59kg at $3. Sure to be a major player.
