Hailey Equine Irish EBF Fillies Maiden

Curragh · 13:40 · Saturday, 18 July 2026 · 7f · Good To Firm

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady early pace with the midfield shaping the tempo, and Rebel Wave’s recent improvement at Limerick on soft ground suggests she may take the lead or challenge from the inside, despite a draw of five and mixed signals on ground suitability. Nautic Star stands out with consistent form in maiden company over 7f, finishing third at the Curragh last month and showing strong headway in the final furlong, backed by a solid RPR of 86 and a promising run at 129lbs; her return to maiden conditions after a handicap debut offers a clear appeal. The main dangers are Vishaya, who narrowly missed victory at Killarney on softer ground and is now returning to maiden company, and Caislean Ni Cuan, who showed promise in a keen start at Leopardstown but has struggled to maintain form since, with a potential value at the forecast price in a tight field. Each-way players include Stooked, with pedigree depth and a half-sister to Group 1 winners, and Saga Lucia, who has a fresh jockey pairing with Oisin Murphy and a modest run in autumn AW conditions.
