Highly promising run here in June when beating all bar a subsequent Group winner

4 (5)	Mysteries Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	128	h	313	-	98	84	23d	—	—	+7	13.4	2.50/1	11 9%
Raced keenly when third in a Group 3 so first-time hood could be a notable addition
1 (1)	Betula Chestnut J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	128	—	4	-	92	56	50d	—	—	-3	1.2	4.75/1	20 5%
Bit to find with Dollerina on their form here in June but she's unexposed
3 (8)	Kalispera Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	128	—	43	-	97	44	18d	—	—	+2	3.5	12.25/1	50 2%
