Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 21, 2019 Journalists Share Posted May 21, 2019 Roger Varian has decided to give Qabala (Scat Daddy) another shot at Classic glory by supplementing the filly for Sunday’s G1 Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas at The Curragh. Qabala was sent off favourite for the Newmarket equivalent May 5 but had to settle for third behind Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who is also an intended starter on Sunday. Varian is hoping The Curragh’s level playing field will aid her chances and is looking forward to the rematch. “Qabala has impressed us since running a very good race in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket where I felt she was a touch unlucky not to finish closer. I feel she deserves another crack at a Classic, and everything about her demeanour suggests she is ready to go again,” he said. There are 11 fillies left in the reckoning, among them Joseph O’Brien’s Iridessa (Ire) (Ruler Of The World {Ire}), who bids to put a slightly tame effort at Newmarket behind her and Michael Bell’s Pretty Pollyanna (GB) (Oasis Dream {IGB}), not seen in action since finishing third to Iridessa and Hermosa in last year’s G1 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket.
