Cork report: Commonwealth Cup next on Measure Of Magic’s agenda

Measure Of Magic has the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot as her next destination after she proved far too good for her rivals in the listed Goffs Irish EBF Polonia Stakes, the feature on a good card in Cork.

Johnny Murtagh’s filly had returned with a listed win in Navan, and this was another step forward for the daughter of Kodi Bear. Fourth early, as Ben Coen gave her cover, she moved up with a couple of furlongs to go and quickened from the furlong marker to put three and a quarter lengths between herself and Russian River, with Teresa Mendoza making a satisfactory return to action in third.
