Green Carrera (19:00 Killarney — Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cairn Rouge Stakes, Listed, 1m)
A three-year-old bay filly by Lope De Vega, trained by the in-form Joseph O’Brien — firing at 35% over the last fortnight — and partnered by Dylan Browne McMonagle, who has a 66% win rate on her across three rides together. Green Carrera has been in outstanding form this season, winning back-to-back at the Curragh in May and then landing the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, beating 29 rivals by 2 lengths at 8/1 in a performance that turned heads.
She steps up to Listed company for just the second time and faces a competitive field of 12, but her recent form puts her clear on paper and good ground at Killarney is right in her wheelhouse — a 75% win rate on similar going tells you everything you need to know. O’Brien and McMonagle are a formidable combination right now.
Verdict: Back to win at 9/4 — in-form filly, top connections firing, Ascot form the best in the race.
