Curragh Race 5

Keeneland Phoenix Stakes (Group 1)

Prize Money: $584,369

GSTAAD (2) powered home from off the pace to land the G2 Coventry Stakes over 1207m at Ascot. Promising colt holding leading claims. TRUE LOVE (6) arrives in top form following back-to-back victories including the G2 Railway Stakes attempting course and distance. Main danger. GREEN SENSE (5) claimed the G2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly on latest appearance. Tactically versatile and rates highly. POWER BLUE (3) cannot be dismissed.

Comments

Had two starts to date. At debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Ayr June 21 over 1207m defeating Mind Over Matter with 60.5kg at $11. Last start in a small field at Newbury in the LR Rose Bowl Stakes on July 18 over 1207m, 8 len behind Wise Approach carrying 58kg at $13. Disappointing last time and will need to lift.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. On debut, favourite; won by 0.8 len at Navan May 17 over 1207m defeating True Love carrying 60.5kg at $8. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 3 len at Ascot G2 Coventry Stakes June 17 over 1207m defeating Do Or Do Not carrying 58.5kg at $4.50. Big chance to continue the unbeaten run.

Most recently in a small field at this track in the G2 Railway Stakes on July 19 over 1207m, 6 len behind True Love carrying 59.5kg at $5. The start before that 5th of 20 at Ascot in the G2 Coventry Stakes on June 17 over 1207m, 4 len behind Gstaad carrying 58.5kg at $15. Solid top three prospects.

At the latest run won by a long-neck at Chantilly G2 Prix Robert Papin July 20 over 1200m in soft going defeating Super Soldier carrying 56.5kg at $4.10. The start before that 13th of 17 at Ascot in the G3 Albany Stakes on June 20 over 1207m, 10 len behind Venetian Sun carrying 58kg at $5.50. Worth including.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; won by 5 len at this track G2 Railway Stakes July 19 over 1207m defeating Puerto Rico carrying 58kg at $1.50. The run before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Ascot G2 Queen Mary Stakes June 18 over 1005m defeating Flowerhead with 58kg at $3.30. Form good for this and looks one of the major hopes.
