Down Royal Race 2

Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Fillies Handicap

Stake: $47,822

EMERALD HARMONY (2) is yet to make the frame in four runs since gaining her second flat success with a head-win at Bellewstown during April. Latest fourth of fifteen effort at Cork hinted a return to form and a bold bid is anticipated. SHONEY (4) made all racing third-up getting off the mark with a dominating 4L Tipperary triumph. Will need to bounce back from a disappointing display next time at Curragh. Shortlist. AURORA NOVA (5) placed twice from three starts over course and distance. Feared. MORAL TURPITUDE (1) holds place chances.
