Siren’s Song on course for Epsom

LAUGHING Lashes put Newmarket behind her in the Irish 1000 Guineas last Sunday and it was nice to see the Moyglare form franked, with the first three in that race finishing first, second and third at the Curragh last weekend.

The rain came at just the right time for Laughing Lashes because she needs further than a mile and her next race is going to be the Irish Oaks. She’s a very relaxed filly and she was staying on well. With regard to getting a mile and a half, there might be a question mark with her sire Mr Greeley but she’s out of Adventure, an Unbridled Song mare and they stayed. A lot of it tends to be how they relax in their races though and she doesn’t use herself too much early in races, which helps her come home as well as she always does.

The Epsom Oaks is next Friday and Siren’s Song is ready to run her race. She’s in great form and I’m very happy with her. She doesn’t take a lot of training. She’s a lovely filly and I just hope the inexperience won’t get to her. She will settle in there around mid-division and see what happens after that.
