Rizeena camp targets Matron Stakes Rizeena is likely to head to Ireland for an attempt to go one place better than last year in the Coolmore Fastnet Rock Matron Stakes. Clive Brittain's filly suffered her first defeat at Ascot in four runs when second to Amazing Maria in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes. Having won the Queen Mary in 2013 and the Coronation Stakes 12 months ago, she was going for a unique treble at the Royal meeting. While she had to settle for second, she did at least return to her best form having disappointed on her seasonal return. "She's come out of it well, she was just in front too soon," said Brittain. "There was no pace and William (Buick) was going so well and had the favourite (Integral) beat he had to kick, but when she gets in front she lingers and the winner had time to cut her down. "Ascot is her track, she loves it, but unfortunately for once it was not her day there. "She's in the Falmouth but I think we'll go for the Matron in Ireland in which she just got beat last year. "One thing we do know is that she's back to her best."
