Well-related Tuesday up and running for O'Brien

Regally-bred Tuesday got off the mark on her second start in the three-year-old fillies' maiden at Naas.

A mile was the trip and she got a tow from the leader Verlinga before taking over coming to the two pole.

Some of the closers sniffed an opportunity racing into the final furlong but one crack from Moore was enough as the favourite went on by a handy length and three quarters to score at 2/5. Ezine (16/1) and Esculenta (9/1) came in second and third respectively.

Aidan O’Brien said: “She’s a lovely filly. I’m very happy with her and she’ll have no problem staying further.

“We’ll go gently with her and see how she is and how much she comes on.

“I doubt if she will go to Newmarket for the 1,000 Guineas. It will probably come too quick for her.

“She could be an Irish Guineas filly that will get further than a mile.

“She’s a sister to Minding and the filly that beat her has won a Group One.”

Paddy Power kept Tuesday unchanged at 8/1 for the 1,000 Guineas and the Oaks.

Tuesday is by Galileo out of out of Group Coronation Stakes winner Lillie Langtry. She is a full sister to the stable's Minding who was dynamite in Group One company between 2015 and 2017. Among her haul, was the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Epsom Derby.

She was pipped by a short head by Discoveries on her sole start in a juvenile fillies' maiden at the Curragh last June. Discoveries was the subsequent winner of the Group One Moyglare at the Curragh in September.
