STAR MARE PEARLS IS GEM

Chances Galore for Paddy in Minstrel

-  RYAN MCELLIGOTT

PEARLS Galore can make it another good afternoon at the Curragh for Paddy Twomey by landing the Group 2 Romanised Minstrel Stakes.

This five-year-old mare is a high class sort at her best and is certainly good enough to win at Group 1 level this season when things fall her way.

With this in mind she should take all the beating here and she is returning to a trip that suits her very well.

Pearls Galore has already notched up several pattern race victories at this distance and she was also second in a Group 1 at this distance last season.

All this points to her being able to make it back-to-back Group 2 wins at the expense of the former Breeders Cup Mile winner Order Of Australia.
