Race preview
SMILE OF LOVE was a beaten favourite in third over course and distance last month but that form is working out well. The runner-up has since scored in Group 3 class while the fifth home won her maiden at Galway (in the stewards' room). Sea The Stars filly Shamiyana was nearest at the finish in third over this trip in the Curragh last month and can build upon that. That was a pleasing debut as she ran on well to be beaten less than a length by the winner. Shamiyana holds big-race entries. Voice Of Angels was a place, and a neck, in front of Shamiyana in that race after hitting the front a furlong and a half out. She was only caught in the final 75 yards and looks set to be well involved again. This Dark Angel filly also holds notable entries. Alizarine didn't get to run in Galway due to an identity mix up but is of obvious interest on her debut with a Group One and a Group 2 entry made. Madonnadelrosario has her chance with blinkers tried.
