Paris Peacock struts her stuff again at Gowran Unable to win a maiden in seven attempts, Paris Peacock (8/1) made it back-to-back stakes victories when landing the Group 3 Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies’ Stakes. A course and distance winner of the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes last month, Shane Foley’s mount was in mid-division at halfway before making good headway in the straight to lead over a furlong out. The daughter of Muhaarar kept on well to hold English raider Kawida by a neck with Terms Of Endearment a further two and a half lengths away in third. Winning trainer Jessica Harrington, completing a double after Maud Gonne Spirit in the opener, said: “I think she's improved since she got her head in front!” “It was rock hard here the last day but she didn't mind the bit of ease today. “Shane said today they went quick, he was in behind and when he pulled her out she took him into the race almost too quickly. “When the other filly came to her she put her head down and went again. She's been a revelation considering we couldn't win a maiden with her. “We'll talk to Craig (Bernick, owner) now about what we do now. We have a few ideas but she's won a Listed race and won a Group 3 so what more can I ask of her now. “She's a nice filly with a nice pedigree. I'd say she might end up in America next year.” Quotes from Gary Carson
