Purpose can get off the mark at third attempt

SENSE Of Purpose will be strongly fancied to get off the mark, at the third attempt, in the Kilcarn Stud 2-Y-0 Fillies Maiden at Navan today.

This Galileo filly, trained by Dermot Weld, was narrowly denied in listed company last time and looks more than capable of success in maiden company.

Third to Sagacious at the Curragh on her debut, Sense Of Purpose stepped into listed class for the Flame Of Tara Stakes over a mile last time and, after a protracted duel, was pipped by Corcovada, with Ballydoyle filly Lady Lupus, a rival again today, back in seventh spot.
