City Of Memphis stays upwardly mobile at Leopardstown City Of Memphis made it two from two this season with a straightforward victory in the Group 3 Al Shira’aa Racing “Mutamakina” Stakes at Leopardstown. California Dreamer pulled them along at the head of the field in the seven-furlong contest, with the Paddy Twomey-trained City Of Memphis covering her every move. Billy Lee then laid down his challenge at the one pole to take it up in a duel with California Dreamer and Snellen, and the 7-4 favourite’s class shone through as she came home one and a half lengths clear of the fast-finishing Signora. Snellen was a neck further adrift in third. Twomey said, "She's a very good filly. We haven’t raced her much and I’m hoping we’ll make up for lost time this year. “She’s in the Group Two Lanwades Stud Stakes on Guineas weekend and I think the mile will be no problem. “She’s a filly that will do very well later in the year, over seven or a mile. I’ll keep her to better tracks.”
