This has proved a very good race for short-priced favourites and HARASIYA should join that list. John Oxx' filly impressed with an easy debut success over this trip at Leopardstown and went back there for the Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes where she was equally impressive in beating today's rivals My Special J'S, Roseraie and Reglisse. The latter wasn't at her best at Tipperary on Friday but Magical Dream got bogged down in the mud on her debut at Naas then showed that form to be all wrong with an impressive victory over debut-maker Diamond Sky at Galway. That pair look the main threat to the selection as the remainder all have plenty to find.
