Formscan By Dan McEvoy - PHENOMENAL FILLY (3) was a maiden winner and finished fifth in a valuable stakes race in her juvenile season. She could be deemed unlucky not to have won the Brownstown Stakes at Leopardstown last time after receiving some interference. Paddy Twomey now reaches for cheekpieces for his charge, and she can go one better. Suzie Song gains preference for a runner-up finish over Fort Vega solely on the weight difference. She had some good early juvenile form especially when winning a Group 3%3B however, she has regressed with every start since the Moyglare, and it is questionable whether she has trained on. Fort Vega must give a lot of weight away here, and from a career-high mark that would seem a tough task, but he is holding his form well.

Quotes on Fort Vega (FR)
I was a little bit worried, being a Lope De Vega, whether the ground would be a tad fast for him. We decided to let him take his chance because it was such a good race for him. I'll talk to John (Lavery, brother), I know where he'd like to go. They love having runners at Ascot and I'd say the Jersey could be an option. John is in Portugal, so I'll talk to him and we'll make a plan. He's in the Guineas next week but you are jumping from a handicap to a Group 1. I think the weather is to be very warm as well, if it came up dead soft I might chance it. He's a gorgeous horse, you can put him anywhere and do anything with him as he's just so easy.

Quotes on Phenomenal Filly (IRE)
She came forward from her debut. She’s a nice filly and I’m delighted with that. She won a Goffs bonus today, which is even better,. She was green there 12 days ago and she’s come forward plenty. She’s in the Lowther, she qualifies for the Goffs Millio and that might look like a good fit for her at the moment.

Quotes on Suzie Songs (IRE)
it was a last minute decision to run her but the beautiful thing about training for Moyglare, is you are allowed to do that and there are no set plans. I’m blessed with owners like that, I wake up and can change my mind and do whatever. Today’s race wasn’t the plan and she hasn’t worked since Cork but we were watching entries so I just threw her in. I thought it got to her today, so we’ll give her a wee break and come back for the sponsors race, the Moyglare (Stakes Group 1, September): it’s a race I’d love to put on the CV. We’ve a horse who ran well last night (Justiciar) and this filly, so have a nice bunch of horses heading that route. Colin said in Cork that Suzie Songs wanted further and sticking to the original plan, her next race would have been over seven (furlongs) but this presented itself during the week with few entries, so here we are.
