Magic on course for Curragh Group 2 Measure Of Magic will bid for more stakes success, at the Curragh on Saturday, after a fantastic effort in Group 1 company at Royal Ascot last month. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly has proven to be a highly progressive sprinter this term, winning two Listed contests. She emerged with plenty of credit from the Commonwealth Cup last time when third to the promoted Campanelle. The daughter of Kodi Bear holds an entry in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes next month but first stop is the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at HQ this weekend. "Measure Of Magic will go for the Paddy Power Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday,” said Murtagh. "She's tough, takes her work well and eats well. "She's small and I thought she might not train on but nothing would surprise me with her. She's a tough lady." (Quotes by Alan Magee)
