Paddy Twomey is hoping Final Gesture can sign off in style in the Group 3 Comer International Loughbrown Stakes at the Curragh tomorrow.

The Dubawi filly was an impressive Listed winner at Gowran Park on her first outing for the Tipperary handler back in May.

She was last seen finishing sixth in the €600,000 Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh in late September.

The four-year-old is out of Group 2 winner Secret Gesture, who is a half-sister to Japan and Mogul. She holds an entry in the sales at Newmarket next month.

“She's in good form. It's her last run as she's going to the (Tattersalls) December Mare Sale.

“I think she ran well in the Cesarewitch coming from the back and I think she'll run a nice race on Sunday, hopefully she'll be good enough to be competitive.

“She's a well-bred filly and if she could win a Group race it would be great, if she could get another bit of Group placing that would be good too.”
