Verdict

SUNSET SHIRAZ sets the standard on the back of her excellent third in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at this C&D 2 weeks ago and she can take advantage of the drop back in class. Albula failed to land the odds in a Group 3 here but it was still a good effort and she remains with potential after just 2 runs, while her stablemate Tranquil Lady looked a good prospect when scoring at Galway.

  1. SUNSET SHIRAZ (IRE)
  2. ALBULA (IRE)
  3. TRANQUIL LADY (IRE)
