Curragh Race 2

Newtownanner Stud Irish European Breeders Fund Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)

Stake: $130,719

SUGAR ISLAND (7) boasts a great pedigree and shaped with promise winning a maiden on debut here last month. Major player stepping up in trip. Stablemate MOMENTS OF JOY (4) rallied and kept on well first-up at Leopardstown before placing in a Listed race as Ascot next time. Danger. QUEEN OF HAWAII (5) relished the extra distance getting off the mark with a 2L Leopardstown triumph. Feared. CAPE SOUNION (1) finished runner-up all four career starts and will be thereabouts again.
