Fairyhouse Tip
15:20 – 7f Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes (Group 3)
This looks a really good opportunity for the exciting filly PEARLS GALORE (NAP – 2 point win bet at 9/4), who is the joint top-rated horse in the line-up and 5lbs+ superior to the other runners. Having joined her current yard from Freddy Head in France, she was an easy winner on her Irish debut at Limerick last July. Connections then avoided the temptation to put her straight into a stakes races and instead went down the handicap route. She bolted up at Cork and made her next start in a Group 3 at Gowran Park, putting in a career best effort to get within half-a-length of the odds-on favourite Champers Elysees, who won a Group 1 race next time out.
The fact that she pulled five-lengths clear of the rest of the field on testing ground that day confirmed her as a very smart performer. Although she is thought to want a quicker surface, she seems really versatile and won’t be inconvenienced by conditions if the forecast rain arrives. She should have come on significantly for last month’s seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown, where she finished a respectable third, and is well drawn for a prominent racer. Strong chance!
