Labelled a TDN Rising Star due to her exciting early juvenile form, the Niarchos Family’s Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) picked the right stage to mount a serious comeback after some worrying reversals to annexe Sunday’s G1 Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas at The Curragh. Attracting support into 12-1, the imposing grey who was only 10th in the G3 Ballylinch Stud 1000 Guineas Trial over seven furlongs on heavy ground at Leopardstown Apr. 14 was always comfortable travelling towards the rear under Colm O’Donoghue. Allowing Ballydoyle’s 33-1 shot Could It Be Love (War Front) a sizeable advantage, the homebred steadily gathered her in and despite drifting left late on managed to do so to score by 1 3/4 lengths, with 3/4 of a length back to the 5-4 favourite Happily (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in third.
