Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 5 Journalists Posted June 5 Marc Chan's homebred G2 Golden Fleece Stakes winner Green Impact (Wootton Bassett), who defeated G1 Derby favourite Delacroix twice last year, went postward for Thursday evening's Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Glencairn Stakes at Leopardstown returning off a G1 2000 Guineas sixth and bounced back in style to claim a second black-type success in the nine-furlong contest. The 11-8 favourite asserted for an early advantage and set an even tempo through halfway. Holding sway throughout, he was driven to subdue TDN Rising Star Azada (Siyouni) approaching the final furlong and found extra to withstand the late challenge of Currawood (Acclamation) by a half-length in game fashion. Azada finished three lengths adrift in third. Green Impact is the first of two foals and lone performer out of a half-sister to multiple Group-placed G2 Flying Five second Alphabet (Lawman) and the stakes-winning duo Mirage (Oasis Dream) and Amnesia (Invincible Spirit). Amnesia, in turn, is the dam of multiple stakes winner St Anthony (Noble Mission). The January-foaled bay's second dam Applauded (Royal Applause) is a half-sister to dual Group 1-winning sire Power (Oasis Dream), GI E P Taylor Stakes heroine Curvy (Galileo) and G2 Ribblesdale Stakes victrix Thakafaat (Unfuwain). Green Impact, whose fourth dam is Group 3-winning matriarch Glatisant (Rainbow Quest), is kin to a yearling colt by Siyouni.
