Verdict

FRENETIC was expected to complete a hat-trick in the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes over 6f at the Curragh but was surprisingly beaten by Aloha Star. She attempted to make all but didn't quite last out on ground with some give and can returning to winning ways over the minimum. Dickiedooda has twice beaten Grammata by just over a length including in Listed company at Cork last time though that form doesn't look quite as strong as that of the selection. Measure Of Magic had Miss Amulet almost 2 lengths behind when completing a double at Down Royal while Dense Star was beaten at odds-on in a course and distance maiden last month.
