Review leopardstown 7th Sep

< The Fugue repeated the feat of Snow Fairy 12 months ago by beating the boys in the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.

John Gosden's filly drifted out to 4-1 due to concerns about the rain-softened ground, but she handled it with ease and after a duel with fellow British raider Al Kazeem prevailed by a length and a quarter.< Trading Leather was third but Kingsbarns who was the mount of Joseph O'Brien after the withdrawal of Declaration Of War, was eased out of contention a long way from home on his return from the sidelines.< La Collina landed the second Group One of her career in the Coolmore Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes.

Fifth in the race 12 months ago, but without a win since her Phoenix Stakes success of 2011, Kevin Prendergast's 25-1 chance was angled out to make her challenge a furlong and a half from home, and finished over the top of Lily's Angel and Say

The Free Eagle bubble was burst as he was trounced by Australia (5-2) in the ICON Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes.

All appeared to be going to plan when Free Eagle took the lead off Kingfisher two furlongs out, but the acceleration shown by Australia as he swept past the 2-5 favourite was devastating and he was six lengths clear by the line.

Sea The Stars' daughter My Titania (6-4) showed plenty of the family talent to carry the colours made famous by her sire to success in the Irish Stallion EBF Fillies Maiden, and Agena (10-1) also has a bright future, judging by his last-gasp success on debut in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden.

Following the victories of Australia and Agena, Aidan O'Brien completed a treble when 2-1 market leader The United States made all in the KPMG Enterprise Stakes.< Barack (14-1) couldn't justify market support at the Galway Festival but made amends in the Ladbrokes Handicap, while Pique Sous took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF "Petingo" Handicap.
