Curragh Race 3

Moyglare Stud Stakes (Fillies' Group 1)

Stake: $900,369

SUN GODDESS (7) has been the star juvenile filly of 2026. Enhanced her reputation with a stylish win from an unlikely position in a valuable sales race at York. Already a winner at G1 level and impossible to oppose. GREEN EMPRESS (5) was runner-up on her second start in the G2 Airlie Stud Stakes. Got off the mark contesting the G2 Debutante Stakes here last month. Firmly in the mix. ALPHA (1) landed the G3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown in July. Not at that level when held in third behind the just mentioned latest. Still warrants respect. DANCING DESTINY (4) comes highly tried and looks booked for another bold show.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd in a small field in the G2 Debutante Stakes at this track on August 22 over 1408m, 0.8 len behind Green Empress with 58kg at $1.70. Before that favourite; won by a head in the G3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown on July 23 over 1408m defeating Dancing Destiny with 58kg at $1.20. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Holds strong place claims once again.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since winning by 0.5 len this track G3 Anglesey Stakes June 27 over 1307m defeating Immortal Guard carrying 58kg at $17. On debut second last in a small field at Naas April 27 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Victorious carrying 58kg at $13. Chasing a hat-trick so is respected.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second last in a small field at this track in the G2 Balanchine (Airlie Stud) Stakes June 27 over 1207m, 9 len behind Sun Goddess with 58kg at $8.50. On debut second in a small field at Naas in the G3 FILLIES SPRINT STAKES May 17 over 1207m, a neck behind Victorious carrying 58kg at $26. Looks vulnerable to the more classier types.

Before that 2nd in a small field in the G3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown on July 23 over 1408m, head behind Alpha carrying 58kg at $21. Promising effort last time out. Not without a chance.

Last start ran second last in a small field in the G2 Debutante Stakes at this track on August 22 over 1408m, 2 len behind Green Empress carrying 58kg at $7. The run before that scored a big 5 len win at this track on August 9 over 1408m defeating Speckles with 58kg at $2.60. Stables third string but she does have ability.

On a three run winning streak. Last start favourite; won by 6 len at York on August 20 over 1207m defeating Battle Fever carrying 59kg at $2. The run before that favourite; won by 1.3 len in the G1 Phoenix Stakes at this track on August 9 over 1207m defeating Folsom Blues with 58kg at $2.30. Looks impossible to oppose in this field.
