Italian Group 1 winning filly Aoife Alainn makes her Irish debut at Naas today in the featured Irish Group 3 Stallion Farms EBF Blue WInd Stakes for trainer Tracey Collins.

The filly, which holds an entry in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh on May 22, was described by Collins recently as “a nice filly and it is a great privilege to have her in my care. Hopefully she’ll be competitive in Ireland too and, ground-wise, she likes to get her toe in. He best trip is a mile to a mile and a quarter.”

The daughter of Dr Fong was a winner of the Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio on her latest start last October and faces stiff opposition today. Among her rivals is the heavily backed morning gamble Mesariya (9/4 - 13/8f), a winner on her only start todate.
