Going - Soft (Hurdle), Yielding, good to yielding in places (Chase). Breezy and dry

Formscan By Alan Magee - SAINTE LUCIE is held in high regard by connections and confirmed that opinion when readily landing a 20-runner Punchestown maiden on her Irish debut. Paul Townend is again aboard in preference to three other Willie Mullins-trained runners including Lady Vega Allen. The later won on her only start over hurdles in France and just failed to peg back Hello Neighbour, with Sony Bill seven lengths back in third, on her Irish debut in a Grade 2 here at Christmas. Wendrock beat Galileo Dame, who was Listed placed on the Flat, by two lengths in a maiden here at the Christmas Festival.

Quotes on Wendrock (FR)

That was grand. He doesn't do anything flashy at home but he has a good attitude and you'd like the way he went there,. I'd imagine he'll come back here for the Dublin Racing Festival but to be honest I'd say he's more of a Fred Winter horse than a Grade 1 horse. He'll need another run to qualify so he'll probably end up coming back for that and that will tell us where to go. We have one or two nice ones at home to run. We're a bit short this year but have a nice horse that came from France, he could probably end up coming here for the Grade 1.

Quotes on Galileo Dame (IRE)

she had a good run in soft ground last year and we thought that ten furlongs would suit her well. I was very pleased and looking at that you'd have to say she's a smart filly. I suppose the obvious thing now is to go into an Oaks trial of some sort. That's probably where she'll go. She's owned by a great group of lads, the Annus Mirabilis Synidcate, Sean O'Driscoll and Brian McKieran and it's exciting for them to have a real smart filly.
