Formscan By Michael Graham - SUN GODDESS (7) has a real shot at bringing up her four-timer. Aidan O'Brien's charge has had a lucrative summer in landing a Group 2 and a Group 1 at this venue before scooping more than 290,000 sterling in a sales race at York. The way she powered clear on the Knavesmire bodes well for this extra furlong. Green Empress is trip proven when getting up a neck in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes here, and is likely to be finishing well. Alpha was caught in the closing stages of the Debutante and dropped to third but, prior to that, was a on a winning run from the Curragh and a Group 3 in Leopardstown. She could readily bounce back. Dancing Destiny, who was a close second in the Debutante, shouldn't be ruled out.

Quotes

Quotes on Alpha (IRE)

She won obviously. It was a bit messy at the start. She was a little bit slow away. Ryan said he just gave her a little root to wake up and then she came on the bridle and was doing a little bit too much. And then Wayne got away and it was just a mess really. Anyway, she won and it was grand. She got a little bit tired as well. We are training her as the races are work rather than races if you know what I mean. If they are not really wound up and it goes wrong at the start it can be difficult. I thought she did well to win. She will be fine. I look forward to her the next day. The plan will be to go for the Debutante at the Curragh.

Quotes

Quotes on Ballinea Star (IRE)

both my horses had the same chance today and I knew there wasn't much between them. Ballinea Star won well last time, I let Donagh pick and he picked the filly. It was a big result with Immortal Guard finishing second. I have loved Ballinea Star since I saw her in the sales (Orby Book 2 Sale, bought for €26,000) and when she goes further, will have a lot to give. She has become tough and strong. We might come back to Leopardstown for the Silver Flash and have the Moyglare, Goffs Million and Breeders Cup Mile in mind for her too. six-furlongs is a little bit short for Immortal Guard and he has a lot of class, so will improve a lot when he steps up in trip. I’m very happy for all the team at home, for the owners and for everyone. We have a lot of support from owners and Kia (Joorabchian, of Amo Racing) helps a lot as well. It is good to get a result on a day like today.

The better the race, the better she is going to be. She has such a high cruising pace. In an ordinary run maiden she is just in a gear too high. She has a lot of class. There was plenty of pace on and Ryan was very happy with her.

Quotes

Quotes on Sun Goddess (IRE)

She had a lovely run the first day. We got her out the first day in case she was an Ascot filly and ran so well that that is why she is back here. She could be an Albany filly if she knows enough, but Ryan said she is still very green between the two and the one (furlong markers) but then she started to go again after that. We have Neolithic, who is a fair horse as well by the same stallion and this is a big rangy filly who will definitely improve plenty as she goes.
