5.30 Killarney (8 runners)
Irish Stallion Farms Irish EBF Vincent OBrien Ruby Stakes (Listed)
1m
Top Three Contenders:
- Cosmic Vega (IRE)
- Pros: Consistent high performer with a recent Listed win. Good track record with C&D.
- Cons: Recent underperformance on very testing ground.
- Giladah (IRE)
- Pros: Has run well in Listed and Group 3 company. Yard in good form.
- Cons: Needs a bit more to secure a win.
- Comhra (IRE)
- Pros: Best run was a third in the Irish 1000 Guineas, making her a solid contender if she can repeat that performance. Also, coming back from a rest period.
- Cons: Poor performances in the Pretty Polly Stakes and Irish Oaks.
4. Summary:
Cosmic Vega, with a top rating and consistent performance, seems the horse to beat. Giladah, although requiring a bit more, has been performing well and has the backing of a good yard. The dark horse is Comhra, who if repeating her Irish 1000 Guineas form could very well upset the odds.
