Curragh Race 3

Gain Railway Stakes (Group 2)

Stake: $239,114

TRUE LOVE (4) made it third time lucky shedding the maiden tag by 1.25L in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot after placing second behind a talented stablemate. Leading contender racing for a notable yard. LEARNTODISCOVER (1) improved from a third on debut to score by a neck over course and distance providing second career start. Dangerous. PUERTO RICO (3) is a stablemate of the top pick. Finished runner-up to the second choice tackling track and trip. Might reverse placings. POWER BLUE (2) may fill fourth spot.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 31-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.3 len at Ascot G2 Queen Mary Stakes June 18 over 1005m defeating Flowerhead with 58kg at $3.30. The start before that 2nd of 10 at Navan on May 17 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Gstaad with 58kg at $1.40. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.
