Group 3 action at Fairyhouse tonight:

18:50 Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Brownstown Stakes (Fillies Group 3 (3yo+, Class 1, 7f, 7 runners)

There’s a strong UK raiding party with Golden Stunner (Ralph Beckett) and Realtra (Roger Varian) who ‘coupled’ are a short price to plunder the prize.

Golden Stunner is a real consistent sort who was only pipped at Listed level at York last time out – beaten a head by Arabian Hope. She’s a confirmed runner but most of her form has been over a mile (York race was 7f 192 yards) although she did win over tonight’s 7f in a handicap, also at York. Whether she can be as effective over seven in a higher grade is a concern.

Realtra has more than paid her keep with a win in the valuable Fillies’ and Mares’ on Lingfield’s all-weather championships card but has been well held in a Group 3 and Listed contest since.

The only one with proven form at this level, Rehana, is now a non runner and she would have been my pick.

As it stands, I’ll try a BETDAQ place on Dermot Weld’s Raymonda at around 3.4 at the time of writing. We still get the three places in this seven runner contest and Raymonda was good enough to finish second to Custom Cut in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in May on fast ground.

The soft ground probably explained a poor run in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time but she has been mixing it at a high level and this doesn’t look a strong Group 3.

The stable form continues to be a concern however, so fingers crossed that particular corner is about to be turned.

SHAMROCK’S BETS:
PLACE NAP: Raymonda (6.50 Fairyhouse)
