6/1
Useful filly. Course winner over 6f in May. Short-head second of 8 to Green Spirit in Prix Six Perfections at Deauville (7f, good, 36/10) 20 days ago. That form puts her in the mix.

Winner at Leopardstown in June. 7/1, 3¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Composing in Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago. More needed in this company.

4/5
Promising sort. C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 4/9, won 5-runner Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Skydance, readily. No surprise were she to crank it up another notch so she's a massive player.

9/1
Showed why she was short in the betting on debut (when fourth of 6) when landing 8-runner maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, running on. Represents top yard but this is a tough assignment.

9/1
3¼ lengths second of 5 to Composing in Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft, 4/1) 30 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Talented maiden but needs to improve to win in this class.

4/1
Promising type. 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Won 5-runner Anglesey Stakes at this course (6.3f, good, 7/2) 56 days ago by short head from Flushing Meadows, responding well. 7f sure to suit and she's a smart prospect.

16:02 Curragh - 23 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

SUZIE SONGS and Composing have already tasted success in Group 3 company and it would come as no surprise were they to dominate the finish here. The latter isn't passed over lightly but the Ger Lyons filly can only improve again for this 7f trip so she's awarded the vote.
