ALPHERATZ missed the break and ran green when beaten just over a length by the well-supported Je Zous on soft ground at Thurles and can go one better. The winner's yard is represented by Galileo Dame, who went for €125,000 at the Goresbridge Breeze-up in May. Hazbaiya improved markedly from her debut when beaten less than two lengths at the Curragh and should make further progress. Fleur De Chine made some late headway over 7f at Naas though that was on good ground while Lively Set found 6f too sharp in the Super Auction race at the Curragh. Port Fairy is by Australia out of a middle-distance winner while Strolling is by Churchill and a half-sister to a winning miler.
