Promising Rihla looks poised to get off the mark

TIPPERARY this evening passed a 9.00 inspection yesterday morning and punters can now make the best of it by supporting John Oxx’s once-raced Rihla to take the Irish Stallion Farms’ Fillies Maiden.

The daughter of Soviet Star made her debut on this track a week ago, on heavy ground. She performed with distinct promise and it is encouraging that Oxx turns her out again so quickly.

She contested a seven furlongs conditions race last week, staying on strongly to finish a creditable third behind previous winners, Jemmy’s Brother and Oversighted.
